Ak-47 stock....14 yr old daughter....wood burner!

There are plenty of AK stocks at the store right now...because sometimes we take them off and add a folder to have a good mix to choose from. I had my daughter down there last week and I thought it would be fun to see what she would do if I set her have at an AK stock with a wood burning tool.
She was nervous at first, because it felt like she was doing something WRONG to a gun. I got her past all of that after a little while and pointed out that it was only a stock and there were plenty....so she couldn't mess up. She decided on skulls (seemed appropriate for a Romanian AK) and practiced on the parts that would not be seen.
After about two hours she had that stock covered in little skulls. She found a thin pencil line drawn on at first worked better than free hand. The thing that suprised EVERYONE is that actually SOLD today!!! Now she wants me to bring her more stocks...I will have to think about that one.
Maybe this could be a good contest thing for the forum members who would like to participate....I have the stocks to spare if we could get some rules and a prize for the best stock. I can't imagine what some of you would do to one of these.

...I don't do wood burning, I shoot, so...send guns, thanks...[:p]
For this other idea....I need some kind of help to figure out the details. Maybe if I can send out ten stocks...(to the first ten who want to participate)...give a certain amount of time to complete the "artwork." When the time for completion is finished everyone can either send the stock back to me and I will put it on a gun, take pics, or...if you have a gun to put it on and send in pics yourself...the gun pic HAS to be plain (black background) and maybe we can let the moderators be the judges.
If you want to keep the stock and you send it to me...I will send it back to you after the completion of everything. E-mail me the address to send the stock and I will send TEN out....the rest of the details I will need help with. Things like....what if people have access to their own stocks??? Do you think there should be limits on the mediums that can be used??? (fiberglass, welding, paint, any restrictions?) Am I missing anything? Does a moderator want to volunteer for this???
I am just trying to think ahead and would like to get this thing going if anyone is interrested just send an address and I will send them out. I will let you guys know when I have reached ten. The sooner you guys get the stocks, the longer you have to work on them. If you have a daughter or a son I bet they would LOVE to do this.
Just let me know. Best of luck!
How about panty liners with little AK's printed on them? Then we could have a slogan contest. My slogan would be "Rugged, reliable and spring time fresh".
or panty liners with little ARs on them. the slogan would would be, sticky, synthetic and jams in all the wrong places...
The majoriy of stocks I have are the Russian and very few of them are smooth, one color wood. They are usually a HEAVY wood grain....so if I send out ten of them, they will all be the same to be fair.
Are the stocks plain or with wings?
Im not putting a picture of her up....because she is so pretty I don't want to hear the "pervs" talking about her here...even fully dressed and a decent photo would shurely be too much for them to be subject to.
If she were dressed like her mother hadn't taught her that she is intelligent, beautiful, and to be respected as a person and never should have to degrade herself to less than that....then that would be offensive. Good thing she has great respect for herself and would never even wear anything that couldn't be posted.

Um, well, how about one just of some article of clothing? Or, uh, um, one of her bicycle?
She put skulls on her AK stock...I think she will eventually put a flower on one, but next is somekind of lion theme....I think you missed that scott.
goth girl eh?.....any tatoos yet?
DWS this is a 14 year old girl that did something she's proud of. If I thought you were a horses * before you have now confirmed it.
Up your nose, chubbie.

Bowman,, She's a mom. And she's holding up pretty well under the presure these days. If she makes it through a couple more weeks of this harrassment I dont think anybody will ever bother her again.
Wonder how much the fumes from that project devalued the rest of her inventory??[:D]
Seriously though, that sounds pretty neat locust, wish I could have seen the stock. I'm glad it sold and it's a testament to the talent your daughter has.
Congratulations, you must be very proud!!
I had planned on putting it up as a give away, but this thing-a-ma-bob will make a great "best stock" prize.
I will get pics and post the prize soon....I hope to get all of the stocks out soon, so you guys enter and we can get this started!
seems someone had a bad reaction ( rash on his hand) to that wood.
Others said there were other woods that could be bad to work with.
Working with dust or smoke could be a bad thing with out a good mask.
Anyone else see this, it was very interesting.
