Hand Carving Woodsrunner Flintlock Rifle Kit

Kibler's Longrifles

74,365 views

This one took me a long time to edit and I apologize for not getting this out to you all sooner. In this video Jim does a very basic, but beautiful, carving on the Kibler Woodsrunner that involves a toe line, a volute on each side of the comb and a cheek carving. Jim demonstrates various techniques including incise carving with a v-tool, relief carving, and scraping with a chisel.

We do sell cut off stocks in our online store for those that would like to practice this skill on a fully shaped butt stock. https://kiblerslongrifles.com/product...

This definitely shows the benefit of keeping your chisels and tools sharp.

Anytime I see a notification of a video from you guys I have to watch it! Thanks for the video.

I bought a Woodsrunner with the intention of carving it. Then you came out with the precarved version, and I thought about selling my new kit in order to buy a precarved one. Now, with you making it look so easy, I will keep the kit and carve it myself.

You do FANTASTIC work Jim !!! I’m a amateur carver who uses mostly pocket knives and what you did here is very impressive. Thank you sir!!!

Wow, this one is absolutely packed with great info. I especially like how you demonstrate how to overcome or correct several challenges you encounter.

My buddy Carl was telling me about you. Very impressed by your talent👍

I have a practice stock on its way to me from you guys, so this video couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks for doing this, and your other videos (and participating in other online communities). Six months ago I would have laughed at the idea of building my own longrifle. Now I'm well into learning relief carving.

Jim, you exceed expectations of customer service. I don't know of anyone else who sells a product and at the same time provides training for an exceptional finished product. Thank you.

Great job Jim. You are an excellent teacher and the camera work is top notch.

Thank you so much for these awesome videos!

I'm young, and I never learned woodworking skills in school. I probably will never even attempt to do anything like this.

But, it's so awesome to see and learn how things like this are done in a hobby I enjoy!

Thank you, from a young muzzleloader in CA!
