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.

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?:) -Shoot Straight, IM

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???????? Last edited by Doug Mann; 07/17/08 02:33 PM. Doug Mann

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.
