The artwork is pleasing enough but nothing appeals to my sense of aesthetic better than a really nice hardwood. I wouldn't buy a painted gun, nor would I buy one of those fashionfad camosynthstocked abominables.

Back in colonial times the old smiths would paint flowers and farm animals on the stocks of "barn" guns or Schemels that they made for less well heeled.

Nice work but I much prefer fancy wood figure to a vase of sunflowers. The man does have talent!

Defintely beautiful works of art. I have probably seen some of his nose art in the Air Force. I would love to have a gun painted with the Vietnam wall on one side of the stock and a F-4 Phantom making a bomb run on the other side. The only thing I would probably be afraid to take it in the woods.

Those stocks are an absolute work of art.

Sorry -- that would be correctly spelled Jackson Pollock, with all "o"s

Phil,

For the right price, I'll set you up with a Jackson Pollock stock! If you don't like my first offering, why I'll paint it over until you like it! (Again, for the right price...)

If Petzal sees this, he'll have a gunstock with a booth babe air brushed on it.

I think its an interesting concept..and could dress up a
fairly plain stock...I envision a Lion or Leopard
sneaking through long grass...on the rifle used for these
beasts.
Anyway, it sure would beat the 'blah' patterns on synthetic stocks.
You could have your Elephant guns with an Elephant motif,
a Varmint rifle with a prairie dog motif, etc.
I approve! Best Regards, Tom from Cody

Thanks but no thanks I'll take a nice piece of wood everytime.:)

What would make you sick, is to come home to find out there is a bob wire scratch or something!

I to am more of a fan of nice hardwood stocks. Sometimes I go to BPS in denver to look at the fine gun room. I enjoy seeing them and have always thought some firearms are a work of art but like Clay said...barb wire or another type of scratch and certain depression would set in

Clay

The original wood stock on my Weatherby Mark V Lightweight Sporter has a nice gash just forward of the recoil pad from a tumble I took on snow covered scree while elk hunting. Normally I don't get too upset over such, but that rifle was my 30th Anniversary gift from my wife. I would have hated that to happen to an expensive rifle like the one Phil has shown us.

Your comment about bob wire reminded me of that. LOL

I prefer a nice traditional walnut stock, or an ugly black composite. I appreciate the arts, but not on my guns, unless it's handcut checkering.

nice*

Obviously, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

while it looks nice, and he is very talented, its just not my style, i like a nice piece of hardwood, and id be scared to scratch it.

He is without doubt a very talented artist. I must agree with a few others here I like a good looking natural wood stock, I would want the art elswhere.

Mock1, you've got alot of family out here.I took my (wife's)dog with me to Ga. to hunt the last few days of deer season,I left him in the pickup and went to my stand.Shot a buck right before dark, found good blood but he was hard to track in the dark.Went and got the dog and found the deer with his help 75yds or so from where I begin having trouble finding blood.That night I fed some to him as I cleaned the deer.Now back at home the dog won't let me out of his sight,we spend alot of time in the pole barn.Jr is a half lab half shar`pei 1 year old,my new hunting buddy.Might do some painting out there everything else is in place!

Cool photos; I could go for a "German shorthair" image of my past hunting partner for 10 years; "Dutchess". It would definately serve as a conversational piece on the range!

Sorry to change the subject, who remembers which outdoor catalog used to feature several pics of Bud Grant, the Vikings coach?

Nice art pieces - he is good. But I won't buy another gun that I won't be shooting (famous last words).

Boodyfull,.. damn,.. that made me laugh,..
Pole barn ,..Beer,.. lab,. country music AND you are to her ( meaning your woundefrul assuming beautiful understanding even if slightly confused wife ) you are
not only playing with your expensive toys but PAINTING your expensive toys . YUK YUK

Ive had the whole thing explained to me once or twice ( or 789 times) but they just dont get it.

Presntly not married yet still subject to female assessment and judgement. I just kiss em,. then ask if they wanna fool around before the next coat goes on.

However ,.ya ya to stay on topic ,.. art is in the eye of,.. guess who ? and Gun art is even more a subjective mind set.

Still,. it must be admitted ,. ladies and guns are not totally disssimilar in that one mans beauty may well give another man the night sweats .

Thusly,. acknowleding the subjectivity as to both .
I would no more paint ( airbrush) a fine walnut gunstock than I would tattoo a world class female behind with a picture of a double cheeze whopper

Hmmm then again ?? yuk yuk
