How to build a shotgun custom stock: a 7-hour day with Jim Greenwood

[@derrickbenner4371]

Wow, I could watch him work all day. What a beautiful piece of timber 🤤

[@nikoberry]

Yes Jim is a true artist and the blank that Kolar picked is incredible!

[@DFox-ud3gx]

I swear the man's a legend. I've seen his work on the clay course's and their nothing but the best.

[@nikoberry]

I would have to agree with you!

[@whimsicalexpressions]

And I married that legend!! :) I'm always amazed at the work he does!!

[@PhilAllen-jt9mr]

I had Jim complete my Pattern Plus a couple of weeks ago with forearm also. Incredible to sit and watch a true artist!

[@nikoberry]

I can’t wait to see your stock!

[@paulvenn4447]

Bet that rasp has seen some work! Awesome video.

[@jonathanhucke]

0:51 was some wild shit. Here to learn from the old timers, but also here to learn how not to loose digits. Every thing else was gold.

[@tennesseestockmaker2847]

A tallented man in a good video. Keep up the good work my friend. Not many of us left out there.

[@RobGreenside]

I've seen his work- and just incredible talented stockmaker. I have always hoped I could afford to have Jim craft a stock for me. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@Mark-ug6fx]

Watch all day a true craftsman pleasure thank you

[@ArnoldHuggins-cj9vx]

Really nice wood,would of like to see the entire process though...

[@marknielsen2482]

Looks really nice

[@marcelodavila8707]

Me facina ese traba felicitaciones . Un saludo a todos de Argentina

[@Patriot-rising]

That is fantastic! I have a custom Mauser I am trying to find a stock. But all I can find is ones with slimmer designs. Being the caliber is a large bore it has not been easy. I have purchased 3 stocks which I will find a use for since I have so many firearms. But this one custom has been around for 3 years with no luck finding a stock this far. I would just carve the barrel channel out but the stocks are too thin to make it work.

[@TheFlyingFatMan]

Sweet! He's only about an hour away from me, but I can't afford his class of work. Maybe some day.

[@nikoberry]

Jim’s pattern stock are $2,500 which make them a great quality for money custom stock!

[@TheFlyingFatMan]

@@nikoberry is it actually good wood that will last, or is it soft wood? Looks are nice, but I'll never be toting a $50,000 shotgun nice.

[@nikoberry]

@@TheFlyingFatMan it is a very nice piece of Turkish walnut. It’s really solid wood and will last forever.

[@TheFlyingFatMan]

@@nikoberry oh wow cool! That may be an option someday then. Thanks for the replies!

[@henriquecapetti1164]

i really enjoyed your content, this stock turned out a beautiful piece of art. What type of wood did you used ?

[@hammerdown9]

Nice wood! Is this a pattern stock or the final product?

[@nikoberry]

This is my final stock, but Jim just sprayed a temporary finishing so I could make sure that everything was right. He now has the stock back to do the final finishing.

[@piotrbochnacki325]

Nice!Who makes fit gun if I decide to have Kolar?

[@georgezama9803]

Beautiful is it ordinary wood ..???

[@James-ki6xi]

The artist actually made the complete stock in one day?

[@RobertRandin]

Mary nice video takes a lot of. Talent to do with gunstruct by hand you de play R and artist Tuesday's question. What did you use to spray on the guns'dock at the end?

[@beneditocoelho3271]

Gostaria de ter um pedaço de madeira dessa pra fazer cabo de faca 😢

[@waynetoneseekerandersen2213]

Is there a video on the inletting?

[@medattemedatte8966]

We can make the Shotgun stock from oak or olive wood.

[@akawireguy1197]

How is the initial inletting done.? What we see here is easy compared to what is inside the wrist.

[@nikoberry]

Kolar did my inletting with their CNC and picked the blank. Jim built my stock and is currently doing the finishing. Team work to make it as efficient and quick as possible so I get more time to practice with it before the season!

[@nicolaepopiela1857]

How long does it take to process this ?

[@dangson1183]

Something wrong with Krieghoff or just time for a change ?

[@nikoberry]

Nothing wrong with Krieghoff. Time for a new challenge and incredible service and support offered by Kolar and Elite Shotguns.

[@Elamigo.aventurero-MTZ]

Amigo una pregunta que tipo de lubricante le puso??

[@getanadeinthere]

Are you leaving it uncheckered or is someone else doing the checkering?

[@nikoberry]

I am not a huge fan of checkering so I’ll leave it like this.

[@whimsicalexpressions]

But, if you want it checkered, Jim does all his own checkering - also by hand, not by machine.

[@CanadianWaterfowler]

I wonder if that's the actual action of the gun that the stock is made for, or rather (I hope) a dummy, used just for fitting wood to metal... Because if those tools touch a Kolar action by mistake and do some unwanted engraving... someone will be very unhappy...

[@aeron-mw7ofs]

👍👍

[@nikoberry]

😊

[@sethg2348]

Makes me cringe seeing the file work on a stock. Greenwood stocks are so well known in the sporting clay game.

[@nikoberry]

Incredible craftsmanship. 100% confident I’m getting the best I could get.

[@user-jj2dk5ew9j]

!!!!! press on vice the gun!!!!

[@GoodJumpTitan]

👏👏👏👌

[@ОлегРыбалкин-т8ц]

Больше похоже на весло а не на приклад😊😊😊😊😊

[@johnnyholland8765]

You are doing an excellent job but you really need to support the end of the stock on something...

[@d-rayphelps1630]

Mr Greenwood absolutely knows what he is doing. How many stocks have you made?
