Quaker Practice Carving Stock LIMIT 1 PER ORDER PLEASE

Great product for a novice builder like myself. I was able to practice some carving and determine how I want to finish my carved woodsrunner kit and what products and techniques to use while getting the practice in so I don't make too many mistakes on the woodsrunner. Definitely worth buying.

I bought the carved Woodsrunner version of the Quaker practice carving stock primarily to learn about stock carving from a physical model rather than photographs, second to try finishing walnut with bone black and linseed oil, and third – as a potential bonus – to see if I could use it to make a half-stocked variant from my existing Woodsrunner kit.

If you’re thinking of going the half-stock route you should keep your expectations realistic: these are sold as cut-down practice pieces precisely because they don’t meet Jim’s standards. Mine had chipping and gouging, perhaps from an errant CNC tool. The ramrod hole had not yet been drilled and there was, of course, no patchbox lid.

Happily, the important bits from my existing kit fit perfectly and with some filing and sanding and drilling I’m on my way to making a bonus half-stock for my Woodsrunner. Even if I couldn’t, this would still be worth the money as a learning and practice piece.

I wish I could post pictures of the Woodsrunner stock I received as a practice stock. Upon seeing it, I wanted to cry that this piece of wood would not be gracing some lucky man's rifle. It must be at least their extra fancy maple and is more likely to be some of the extra extra fancy that they had for a while. And it is also the incised carved version as well. Maybe I could try to build it up as a half stock Kentucky some day. Or pass it on to daughter to see if she can do it after I get too old. Thank you, Jim, it is an honor to just get to hold a piece of stock this fine,and I'm very thankful that by luck of the draw I get to be the caretaker of this wonderful wood.

Nice practice stock for laying out designs and carvings. Same size and wood as the actual kit build stock but no worries about damage.

Quick shipping, just what I was expecting for a practice stock.

Quaker was great for trying stains and Finnish. Thank you

Exactly as described. The quality of the machining is impressive.

Absolutely gorgeous, I can’t believe this was called a second. The grain was beautiful and the machining looked perfect. I think this one slipped by by mistake

Stock was just right to make a blanket gun out of and really nice walnut

Pleased with what I received. I am learning the craft of building longrifles and this stock leaves many avenues of learning. Between fitting parts, carving and trying out stock finishes it was well worth the money. The stock had a knot at the bottom of the butt which I will practice filling. My order was filled quickly and received damage free.

Just recieved my smr maple practice stock. The stripping was beautiful! The defect must have been on the end that was cut off, because what I received was flawless. Thinking seriously of making a halfstock.

It's a trap! I ordered a mountain rifle practice stock to try out Kibler stain and a couple of other procedures before I tackled my nice full stock. Couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the box. The extra fancy maple stripes are great and the forearm was cut off well above the entry thimble and the inletting looks perfect. So I thought about it for a while and started ordering all the metal parts for a half stock. I cut the barrel to 32" and I will have to make an under rib to fit the small barrel flats. It will make a great wife's gun to go with the long one. I don't know that all of the Quaker stocks are this nice. It would have been well worth the money if it was too short to salvage. Very happy I bought this.

I love to practice carving and different finishing techniques without the chance of ruining my stock.
I only wish there were more available to experiment on.

Nice stock, pretty wood, to practice carving before going onto the real rifle stock. Highly recommended.

The stock arrived fast. When I opened the package, I was stunned. The wood was fantastic. I would say that it must have been the extra fancy maple. Carves very well, as I am a wood carver I can feel when I need to attack it from another direction. Again, amazing wood and color. I will be using this more often than other woods.

Quaker Practice Carving Stock

These Quaker Stocks are a perfect way to test out incise and relief carvings. Both in practice and also in design.
Kibler Longrifles supplied me with outstanding representation of the exact wood suppled with the kits I ordered. This way I could get a true feeling of working with curly Maple in a no-risk experience. I highly recommend purchasing a Quaker Stock especially if you’re a novice carver.
I also tested the stain and finish I intended to use. The stock ended up looking so good, I’m using it as a wall hanger!

As the description states, it's a scrap piece of stock, but the cost to opportunity ratio for the price is outstanding.

I am using this piece to test various carving techniques and amount/layers of stains and finishes.

I would highly recommend purchasing a practice piece for testing if you have questions about the stock you are finishing.

Very nice practice stock with a good price ! Happy with the bone black as well !

My Quaker stock is so nice I can’t bring myself to waste it on practice carving. It wants to be a halfstock rifle.

A deal to make sure you're ready and not messing up your nice stock

As all my kiblers,i love it and when carved it will become a beautiful crossbow! And will compliment my other 4kiblers no they are not for sale! They are like my chillens 😂

Especially for a buyer with a first time assembly kit,, buy the practice stock to use your parts to assemble first,, good for trial stains and finishes ,, and of course good for practicing your relief carving.. a practice stock can help you avoid costly mistakes on your Kibler kit assembly/finish.

Smart to practice on a Quaker stock before cutting into a good one.

Absolutely beautiful piece of wood. Get carving, inlay, and staining practice before you start your main project. Just a gorgeous piece of maple.

Glad I purchased the stock for carving practice , I use it for drawings , shapes and learning your tools and it gives you a more confident feeling before you start carving your real rifle stock , learn from your mistakes on the practice stock is a must , great for trying stains and sealers also

Nice for learning to carve on the stock contours, different finishing techniques,inlays,patch repairs and anything else you might want to tryout. I have two and they will serve me well.

Perfect to learn new skill. A must before attacking the real deal.

Excellent wood for practice or repair. Worth the money!
