No stock is over the top for my eye. I love honey and smoke even in its lighter forms.The wood must be strong and the grain correct but all is fair after that.I even love birds eye maple.

Hey Guys,
Frequent lurker, seldom posting. What do you mean by "marble cake".
Thanks, IMO: The stock on the first gun posted in this thread falls into the "marble cake" category. The name comes from an actual cake that is baked having contrasting light and dark swirls. Jim

Here's a couple of photos of a trap stock that I did kinda sorta under duress.  I don't have any completed pics but you can get a pretty good idea of what marble cake turkish looks like.

You can't have wood that is over the top, IMHO. I LOVE Baroque architecture and art, so I say,"Bring on the wood porn".
P.S. Chuck do you know anyway of adherening diamond dust onto barrels?:)

Glenn Barely!  But when one of my best buds is having warthogs & meerkats engraved on his rifle and I think its a great idea, its easy to find that my sense of good taste in fine guns has gone right down the pooper. BTW, shouldn't you be loading bullets for Raton or something constructive????????

Yeah, baby!! I like those last pictures a lot better, Chuck. There isn't so much contrast in the different colors. Now that is nice. I guess I just like darker wood on a gun more than lighter wood. But that is just my opinion. To each his own. I am the type of person who likes a small cherry table with no grain at all.
