Looks smooth and ready to finish. Great job walther!
Trouble with stippling is its hard to un-stipple - but it should add some texture and potentially look good - it's looking quite European - like those fancy recoilless German rifles Ace posted in another thread.

both of these stocks were the same colour when raw.
The finish I used on the top one was tung oil and from 2010. Tung oil ages to a nice caramel.

Decided to buff the main tube with cloth wheel and steel buffing compound.
Barrel will bar carbon wrapped eventually.

Finally found the right length bolt m5x60mm.so I could assemble it and do a mock up.
I will machine an escutcheon for the bolt and countersink it.

I think the top one looks balanced, the short ones are too stubby IMO.

an aluminum escutcheon for the stock bolt and epoxied it in. Once that cures it will get flush sanded further.

Looks very well finished, is there a coat of oil on the wood already?

Thanks nothing like drawing some pencil lines and then freehanding with a roto tool to get a shape and NOT fxxking it up. Nerve racking but phew:)

There's a song by Mark Knopfler called Monteleone that is about a luthier building a guitar and one of the lines is "too quick or too careless, it all could unravel".

More than once when working with wood I have taken just a bit too much off...

Some you can correct, others need a new tree!
