Did you do the inletting, checkering, etc.?
Or just glue the boards together...?
Nice work whomever did it.

I purchased the curly maple boards from the Amish in Wisconsin....planed them, sanded them, and glued them together and sent them to Dennis Olson in Plains Montana who routs the blank.
From that point I inlet the blank, attach the rosewood fittings, install swivel studs, glass bed the barreled action, sand and finish and in the end do the checkering.
When one has tool room taste and sand cast budget he learns to do things for himself.....that is if he don't want to hunt with an ugly gun!
