Custom Gunstock Carvings
for Long Guns and Pistol Grips
I've done custom wood carvings on many gunstocks. These carvings have ranged from checkering to custom images. Custom wood carvings can add beauty to your long gun, making it a truly one of a kind piece and family heirloom.
Below are samples of wood carvings I have done on long guns over the years.
