I got me some real nice fancy Walnut last week. Had to make a Crow call with it.

And 3 Bolt Action pens with Walnut. I thought the River Buffalo Horn was waaaay cool. Then I thought how cool would it be to make them with some AAAA Walnut. This isn't Claro Walnut but it's the next best thing I could find. It is Missouri Walnut.

Maaaaaaan I love those pens. :yoyo:
I actually thought about buying another one just in case something happens to the one I got.
I'm one of those compulsive whatch ya ma callit's, aint I? :doh2:
Naaah!! You just like to be prepared is all. :laf: :laf: Those 3 pens from left to right are # 1-#2-#3. Which one you want?? :eyebrow: :eyebrow:
Those are ral nice, but I think I prefere the more tactical looking one with the horn. :biggrin:
Sorry I haven't called ya yet, working nights and ben busy. I'll call for sure though.
Todd
Thanks Todd. I like the horn ones too. Don't see many gun stocks made from it tho. :laf: :laf:
Call when you can.
Same here. I like the looks of the black ones better. The tactical stocks :shrug:
I'd be real curious to see what it would look like with a straight grain wood, like ash or hickory, walnut though.

:laf: :laf: @ ^^^^!! It's that Ruger wood talking Jerry. Don't pay him no never mind. :nono: :nono:
Uh yeah about that straight grain stuff. I can make you one to look at. :biggrin: I was shooting for the AAAAA Cooper stock look on these ones. I do have some regular Walnut in the garage I can use. I'm sure they would look very nice. I know not everybody likes the wilder grain patterns in those pens. Now you got me thinking about that. :doh2:
Nope, definitely not pine :rolleye:
I was just curious, you dont have to make one on my account HaMeR.
I thought the way you knocked the realism of the horn look that you figured you were closer with the spalted walnut look.
And I know I dont get out much but I never seen a spalted walnut stock either....even though I know they DO make them.
I just thought a straighter grain would get it even closer to that "gun stock" look.

None the less I still love my black tactical Ruger stock
Those look great Hammer! :yoyo: one day i may have to get one of those pens, i never use one but it sure would be nice to show off.

I like the looks of the horn alright. It's still purdy cool. I just thought I would take them in a different direction & make them with a traditional gun stock wood like Walnut. And the more figure the better like a fine custom stock. :biggrin: The pic you posted looks good too. I kinda like the looks of the straighter grain woods on the Gold pens tho. Of course that's just my opinion & I have noooo problem making any combination somebody would want. :biggrin: :biggrin:
Thanks riverboss!! Whenever you're ready just holler!! :biggrin: :biggrin:
