New Whip Stock


Recommended Posts

I have been laid up for the past 9 days. I had to pull my beaver snares and put my deer hunting on hold, and have been going nuts as I have had to stay basically indoors this whole time. Short trips out to the barn and kennels have been my only outings.

 

I needed to find something to help occupy my time so I thought I would build a new whip stock for when out with the hunt pack. It still needs the tab lashed to the end, but since I have not been able to get out for the leather it will have to wait for a bit.

 

Started out by finding a nice two foot piece of 1 1/4 by 12 inch white oak.

A few quick pencil lines later and we are ready to do a rough outline cut.

After some cutting with the jig saw, a roughed out stock.

It was then time to use the dremil to do the shaping.

Will post pics of tab and lash in place when I get them.
