Well done! 

I liked both versions but I understand about making changes to it also.  There comes a point where it's going to be as good as it gets.

What did you use for a finish?  I like the looks of it.

[Oldgringo]

In a word:  OUTSTANDING!

[Hoosier Daddy]

BEAUTIFUL, Glad you brought it back up, I missed it the first time.
2nd finish is indeed better than before. Good eye.
Now I just need to figure out how I am going to send you one of my 100 year old walnut trees to make me one.

Thank you all for the kind words. I may make another one some day when I forget how frustrating this one was

Thank Brett, I used catalyzed lacquer (pre cat) on both versions. Second one was straight satin.

Hoosier Daddy, if you have 100 year old walnut trees, you could sell the tree and buy a rifle with nice factory stock, and lots of pellets.

Yes... many... and I also have a couple Sawmills who somehow know my name.

Humm ...The crystal ball is a little cloudy BUT I think I see a Sheridan Model A Super Grade & a Model B Sporter in Scott Future, don't You.

I am 54.
My Great Grand Father planted the originals and I live on his dirt via inheritance. now there are about 30 good sized trees.
Figure it as my pension someday but almost seems sacrilege to intentionally cut one down.
My mower sure hates them for the nuts, but I let several strategically selected saplings go every spring.

Renewable resources my friend. If no one cut trees, I'd be out of a job and we'd all have synthetic stocks

[Joe Brancato]

Wow!!! Stunning!!! You are an ARTIST!!!

How did you inlet the blank to receive the action?

I have made some stocks.  I inletted with a router, router table, and drill press.  I have thought about taking on a stock for my HW77 but I haven't had the time or motivation lately, especially since it's spring now and I have other more urgent things to tend to at the moment.  I hope to some day....

Wow.... Just amazing.

Good morning Brett,
Pretty much the same as you, I use a router and drill press but I don't like using a router table as I cannot see the cut I'm making. Instead, I prefer to use a deck and straight edge locked into my jaw horse. I didn't take pictures of the setup I used on the HW97K but here is one of the laminate stock I inletted for my D34. It's the same process.
