After 6 or 7 years of dragging my feet on this project, I finally got the wood to metal fit where I’m happy and can send The metal off for bluing. I can finally do the finish work on the stock, which is what I like. So with a a nice sunny day and a little dash of mineral spirits I wanted to get a look at the wood, which I haven’t done in years.
Husqvarna Mauser 6.5x55, Shilen barrel. Haven’t decided on recoil pad color yet.

Son of a bitch, what is wrong with photobucket? Been meaning to get rid of that garbage anyway. I assume no one can see the pics either?

Remember a thread awhile back about rifles too pretty to hunt with. I'd say there's no such thing, but this is about as close as you can get. Beautiful wood and beautiful work.

So this is gonna be my wife’s gun. She was going to attempt to checker it, but for a first attempt she has now seen true wisdom of sending this on and working on something cheaper.

Thank you all for the kind words. We don’t see many like this these days, but I sure love seeing them and working on my own.

Beautiful color!

I wouldn’t do the checkering either. Way too easy to have a permanent dud. Oil finish yes!
