My 56s and her new wood....project....NOW WITH SOME BETTER PICS
12/13/2011 9:08:45 PM
About a year ago I started this project in my spare time. I'm a huge 56 fan, but not a huge fan of blonde wood. I make pistol grips in my spare time and thought I'd give some AK wood a try. I made these out of 2-tone Amboyna Burl imported from Laos. I got the pistol grip, hand guard and gas tube cover done, just need to finish the wood for the side folding stock. All hand made. Here's what I have so far...
Here's some better shots....

Ideally I'd love to be able to make a few exotic sets and sell them, but the time alone to make them is 25 hrs +. Not sure what I'd even charge for a set.....
What would you be willing to pay?
I also have several varieties of domestic and exotic wood on hand, couple different rosewoods, claro and black walnut, and a few others. I'll be making a black walnut set next for my 84s.
Will continue to post progress....thanks for looking!
ETA: For the record, this set will never be for sale....sorry.
