I have been wood burning for years now, What I thought Might be interesting to share was I have wood burned my husbands guns. One 12 gage, and Im just now glazeing the 30-30. I have a website at wildernessreflections.zoomshare.com

And I have some photos of my work and the 12 gage. I will have some photos of the 30-30 once it is put back together. Do you think I can get people to by wood burned custom guns? And what do you think of my work?

Very nice work, thanks for sharing it with us. I didn't see any of the gunstocks you have burned but your other work is very nice.

I have no idea what kind of market there is for gunstocks but I do know there are people who do burn gunstocks and have customers who buy them. I'm just not sure how they market them but it's certainly worth persuing.

Yeah the gun I did I think was listed in Unqiue Items. I will send good photos of both guns once I get the 30-30 put back together.

Nightsky ,
Nice work !
Can you sell wood burning on guns.. well kinda depends.

With wood burning , the stock and forearm will need to be stripped. and refinished . Many gun oweres would not be willing to chance it , but other will . Your work is very good, so I am sure that some will be willing.

But as far as woodburning is concerned , with laser carving there is no real damage and they rarely remove the finish. It is not the craftsmanship of your work but it is being done.

I assume your native american. or your husband. Your work is impressive.

Hi Ash~ I also carved the stocks & forearms on guns plus engrave the metal,I will hunt some of my photos on them and post them for your viewing! I DONT know about woodburning! Guns Ive done for certain people cost way too much for me to touch them with a fire! I sure couldnt buy any I would mess up!! LOL tnartist05

We finished the 30-30 today and my husband put it all back together! And yes we strip the stock and refinish them after I burn them. Alot of people love it. Im just trying to see how other people think about them and give me thoughts on how to sell them. Yes im native american. Im blackfoot. We make everything! You want something made we do it. I just love to wood burn, I love the smell and I love the finished art. I will have more photos on the website soon.

Tn ,
I have done a few now. But after I saw the work being produced on a laser I stopped doing them , unless a friend asks.

Nightsky,

I would suggest you contact the NRA for a possible ad in their American Rifleman. Or Check at a local gunshop the problem is they usally want to see samples, a good photo could always be left.

Hope this helps
