Garage news: mini hagn underway

[Lee]

I’ve got a good start on this one. Just a tad bit more than a weekend project.

 

[Jonathan.Silas]

Wow, that stock carving mirroring the receiver is mighty fine! Amazing work Sir!

 

[mitch]

very nice, Lee. who did the metal? several elements, esp. the lever and keyed fore-end are reminiscent of a Hagn Mark Silver built in the mid-80s.

[Big-Un]

[monk]

[Lee]

Thank you everyone.

Mitch, Reto Buehler did the stock and metal.

 

[SamW]

Reto has been an outstanding 'maker for many years! Lee if you bring this to Vegas you best bring a large bottle of Renaissance wax...as it will get drooled upon much.

Lee,
This is amazing. What techniques are you using for carving the stock. Rotary tools, woodcarving tools in an engraving handpiece or a combination of tools?

 

[monk]

spektakuler aint a word, but your efforts are ! tyvm for showing

Thank you everyone for the kind comments.

Stock carving is quite fun. I wish it was more popular in America. I do most of the work with simple wood carving tools in a magnum hand piece. A rotary tool works well for background removal especially if one wants go deep or is working a tight area. I also use punches-the same ones I use for metal sculpting- to compress wood fibers for additional shaping. Bottom line......whatever it takes.
