Brass Tacks on a Hawken Stock???

looks good, russ.  might consider runnng a line of 5 to 8 down each wrist side, from where the lock starts.  will give some added grip, perhaps, whilst adding front to back stock symmetry ... ?

I never have been much of a fan of a tacked stock.
BUT
I gotta say the tack design on that Zephyr rifle is very attractive.  Good job.

Looks good, Russ. I see what rfd is saying as well. How do you feel about it? Do you feel it's missing something? I'd suggest going with what you have and just see what you think. You can always add later if you want.

Thanks for all the responses!
I kinda like the idea of "go with what you got, for now"......
That will also give me time think about it.
One thing about it, after you gone so far, and maybe not like what you already did, you certainly can't hit the delete button and start over!!!!!

I'm stuck with I've got, now it's time for me to give some serious thinking on where to go next, If I really want a balanced look, or just a bunch of tacks, with absolutely no function.
We'll see what I can come up with.

 

Thanks guys!

The tacky photos posted look very good; too many folks overdo it sometimes.

I also have three tacks on each side / each direction of the escutcheons.

Sooo, what do you think?  

Okay, I have seen it, I have tried it, and I'm still about where I was when I started.....I'm just not really sure if I like 'em...maybe they will grow on me over a little time, but if not, guess what?
 I have always enjoyed doing stocks, and a Plains type stock is truly a walk in the park.
