Love the stock on that Mauser. Cheek piece certainly has unique lines.

I have not done a perfect one yet. But that's why I keep trying. If I could do perfect work I'd get bored and stop doing it. I'd have to find something else to make me work at improving.

Floyd Butler custom made for my father in law. I really love his work. This is a 270 on a mauser action.

Now there is some interesting stock work about the rear tang GSP. Nice bone charcoal CCH as well. Great responses on this thread. Thanks. CB.

Keep up the fine work, Steve. It's beautiful.

And one I sadly no longer own, a Gary Goudy 7x57 built on a 1937 M70 action, the most beautiful rifle I've ever held.
