Lynchburg burns on gun stocks

Offshorelivein · Dec 22, 2018

Hey everyone iv started a small business here in Pensacola doing wood working and have posted a couple of my rivertables on the forum but iv recently dabbled in some electrical burns and wanted to share it with you guys and see what you think ! this Is a ruger 10/22 stock that is made out of dark walnut it was pretty badly damaged when I got it out of the storage unit my great grandfather had so I fix it up re finished it and she's looking good .

Those Lichtenberg patterns are pretty cool. Dangerous amount of electricity, though, so be careful.

That stock ended up with a really interesting "lightning bolt" pattern. Sometimes they look more like trees, so however you managed to get it to follow so linearly, it looks at home on a long skinny piece of wood.

My concern from a shooter's perspective would be structural integrity against recoil (obviously not an issue with a 22LR) with such deep burns. Also, maybe fill-in the cheek piece area more so that it's smooth against the face.

From a design side, though, that is definitely a unique and functional work of art. Looks cool on a rifle stock!

Maybe you can put patterns in wood grips (like 1911's, or revolvers, etc), then fill them in flush again. Lots of possibilities for custom work.

Very nice!

most definitely enough power to kill you in 3 seconds. so always safety first and the burns are only 1/8th deep and when filling then with epoxy I can guarantee it's way stronger then it was originally . and yeah so when filling this with epoxy was a huge challenge lol stock is not flat and the epoxy doesnt wanna stay Haha so it was fill a lil prop the stick fill a lil prop the stock . and most definitely will be trying these on grips and such . appreciate the input !

Looks good. What kind of finished price point are you going for from start to finish on a virgin stock?
