Hi everyone. I'm brand new to the forum and I'm hoping you can give me some advice.
My wife and I recently had our first child (a boy) and I'm looking to the future when I can introduce him to safe firearms practice and hunting. I know it's a long ways off, but I've got a project in mind and I know how long it takes me to get around to finishing things like this ;-)
My plan is to build my own little version of the Savage Rascal out of an old beat up Cooey. I'm comfortable with the gun smithing components of the project, but my woodworking experience has been "experimental" at best.
I'm planning to make the stock out of layered color stained wood. Blue and gray. I'm not even sure what this process is called, but I often see it used on hunting knife handles. The knives often use strips of veneer glued together, but as this will be much thicker than half of a knife handle, I'm hoping to use thicker strips.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for this? Whether it be on this forum, another website, or even a book (how archaic!) ;-)
I appreciate your help! Thanks everyone!
