this was a very plane peice of maple so i wrapped it with small dia copper wire and heated it with a propane touch, let it darken not burn then steel wooled it down . bleached the stock twice and steel wooled with 000 applied fiberings med brown shoe dye let dry and finished it with tru-oil not a fantastic thing but looks better than a plane no grain stock

Wow that turned out really nice...I can't tell that is the way the figure was applied. I will have to try that proceedure sometime on some maple.

Thanks for sharing!
 
Wow, that looks real nice.Is this a method that you invented or is this something that has been around?
What-ever, it looks nice to this old Texas boy. :thumbsup:
 
Two-Bellys--too cool :thumbsup: -what kind of spacing did you leave between the wraps?what diameter wire?thanks Butch
 
Wow - I've done this on hawks and knife handles but never dreamed of taking on a stock. Really goood looking gun. :thumbsup:
 
i use the size wire that is found in small motors for the coil wrapping i try to leave about a 1/4"space but it will move so you end up with random widths this works well on any white wood and even cherry :thumbsup:
 
Hey, I'm impressed. By the photos, it looks like very good curl, who would know. How does it look close up, pretty good? ....George F.
 
Give this man a prize. That is the neatest thing I have seen. Way to go Two-bellys :applause: anvil
 
I like it! :thumbsup: Have wanted to try something like this on a cheap spanish rifle that I have. Why did you need to bleach the stock? GW
 
the bleach will make the wood lighter ,then when the stain is applied it will show more contrast. :winking:
