I just finished up making new buttstocks for these two Woodward O/U's, a 20bore and 16bore. The client wanted the stock dimensions and grip style to copy his H&H Royal 20bore. The original stocks were straight/English grip, new trigger guards were made and engraved instead of modifying the originals.

The Woodward 20bore

Woodward 16bore

Well done. Looks like the client specified some serious DAH for his new stocks.

Is it a lighting/photography issue, or is the buttstock finish really that much lighter than the forends?

Great job, Michael. Nice alternative to a straight grip gun, without getting too much "pistol grip".

Killer wood on the 20 bore.

A question on the spectacular 20 bore--is that wood American walnut? It has some of the flaming and crotch patterning I would ordinarily associate with domestic wood. I bet there are not more than a couple of Woodward 16 bore O/U's in the US.

I didn’t source the wood, it was provided to me by the client. I’m pretty certain it is California English Walnut.

The shotguns were delivered yesterday in Dallas to a very happy and complimentary owner. Hopefully we can do more work or even some builds in the future!

Nice work and a properly done ‘Prince of Wales’ grip. No doubt the owner was happy!
