I have had a custom Fox upgrade done and the gun came out very nicely. However the blank I used turned out to be a one sided wonder. The blank lost all of its figure on the right side once it was shaped.
Maybe I am being too critical but I was expecting the same smokey grain on both sides and after spending the money on this gun and not having eye popping grain on both sides, I am looking at the process done by Mark Larson.
Who has had him enhance a stock? How did it look?
Really just want the plainer side to match the nice side.
Or should I leave it alone?
Just bugs me that I spent what I spent on a blank and it just isnt what I expected grain wise. The gun is my pride and joy. The smith who did the gun did a fantastic job, no complaints there No one has control over the wood once it starts to get shaped.
right side, the plain side
left side, the nice side
