Many quality and older guns have a solid wood stock. Gunstock carving is high detail and finish, consequently more expensive.

This is a picture of a gunstock that I am working on now. It is a Russian 7.62 rifle that a man is having carved before he hands it down to his son-in-law. The butt will have a bear in the forest design and the bolt are is an Oak leaf scroll. When done , the carving will cost $220
