Rifle Buttstock Cover

Recommended Posts

Made this for a friend, “La Sombra” is his SASS alias.  Made from 7-8oz HO, I carved his name then backgrounded around it.  The leather was left natural, applied a couple of coats of acrylic sealer, then antiqued around his name, finished it off with a coat of leather balm. The cover is lined with black pigskin suede which wraps around the back and under the lacing. And thanks to @bruce johnson for the tips on wet molding the suede it worked beautifully.

Beautiful pattern on the background.  You did a great job carving the letters too.  What is the second, parallel stitch line on the back end of the cover?  Is it for the liner attachment?

Yes, the rifle has a crescent shaped butt.  I have a cylinder machine which limits me on how far I can go, I guess if I had a post machine I’d be able to go all the way around.
