Gun Stock Engraving

Wisker45-70 · Feb 12, 2010

Well, as I sit here thinking of how little my laser engraver is used at home, I got to thinking of engraving some stocks. However, I don't have any spares laying around. Anyone know of a good place to get say, a wood stock set for an 870 on the cheap? I've engraved a stailess TC barrel that I have, turned out nice. I may offer this service up if I get enough of an interest. But I need a stock to be able to refine my skills.

Well, you could call some stock makers and see if they have any cast-offs.

Wisker45-70 · Feb 12, 2010

Well, I didn't have a blank stock but I took one off my wingmaster.

Before

After

Could of been a tad bit bigger but I think it turned out nice. Thin I'll clean that image up a bit before I engrave it on another.

Nice! I love how that came out! :party29:

Wow, that looks awesome!

Did you do that free hand?

Wisker45-70 · Feb 13, 2010

No freehanding here, used my laser engraver. If you can print it on paper I can laser it on wood. It's way cool and after 4 years I still am amazed that it does what it does.

yeah definitely sounds interesting. I'd like to have something done to my Rossi 20guage slug gun, maybe I'll let you use it for as a practice piece shoot me an email sometime smst@somd.net

I have a stock on the way that I won on GB ($25). Clean, no checkering. I'll do a touch up sanding on it before I engrave. I've done some research and have a new method to try out. I've got some color that I'm going to attempt to do, so I may do a Logo of some sort.

Now what should I engrave on it?
Suggestions?

This will be my shop sample so I can play around with it quite a bit.

MDS Logo

Wisker45-70 · Feb 16, 2010

The MDS logo would look cool, especially in color. Have to get permission and the logo file first. Hmmmmm

SOMDSHOOT · Feb 16, 2010

What is the stock for? Maybe do the MDS logo and then offer it up for a prize. I would love see the final product.

Like I mentioned before, I have this $200.00 Rossi 20 gauge slug gun and the stock and forearm are so smooth and plain jane, I am considering having it hydro-dipped with mossy oak break up, but, I am open to all options at this point. My only concern is getting water and dirt in the engraving, so there would have to be some sort of serious finishing done to the stock.

Right now I am looking at re-finish, clear sealers and the like to put on the stocks after engraving. I'll try on mine before I do any others. The stock I have coming is for an 870 I believe, I was just looking for something cheap to refine the process.

well I certainly look forward to seeing what you can do with it. I have a Mossberg 500 stock that could use a bit of creation as well.

kohburn · Feb 17, 2010

what about synthetic stocks?

SOMDSHOOT · Feb 17, 2010

I want to have a squirrel with the circle-slash "no" symbol burned on my .22 with some text that reads "NO TREE RATS" LMAO I'm loving the possibilities of what could be done with a laser engraver. Or maybe "Tree-Ratinator"

Wisker45-70 · Feb 17, 2010

I'll have to try a synthetic stock. Not sure if the fumes would be to bad but I think I'l try it anyway.
Tree-ratinator :lol:

LOL, yeah I have "Tree-Ratinator" engraved on the barrel of my Traditions .32 Buckhunter rifle, the ultimate in tree rat fun.
