I am going to laser engrave a wood stock for a 10/22 and it will either end up on Bev's 10/22 or will get sold and the cash sent to a 4H shooting sports program (or I will do 2 and do both)
It will have a shape similar to this but the engraving will be more fluid and not stuck in a shape

I am thinking Ivy along the fore end and paw tracks of assorted small furry critters you kill with a .22 like squirrel, rabbit, birds and shit.

Input or what do you think

oh and it will be reversed. as in the leaves and vines and shit will be below the surface and not the same level as like the one shown.

Get a copy of

Art of Engraving by Meek
http://www.trackofthewolf.com/(S(10ac5zep5sagcbnpicizso55))/categories/partList.aspx?catID=4&subID=38&styleID=135

also available through most book stores. probably one of the more well known engravers for patterns and ideas IMO, ditto any book on stocking flintlocks. You'll notice that the TOW page I posted *just* happens to be on this self same topic... ;)


That said are we sure that we arent actually a closet engraver-stocker thats headed towards the dark side (BP) what with this creativity desire that seems to be surfacing with the wood stock project of yours? :D :D
