SIG Cross "WOODY"

I like every one of those changes! Looks terrific; the accented grain pattern is beautiful.
Now, just one more hopefully-constructive comment: If you do another of these, I would suggest having the rear edge of the fore-end piece wrap down slightly, like a sort of reversed-schnabel, so that the wood extends down to the front edge of the magazine well and covers that little "bridge" of metal frame that is exposed now. I know, this sounds like a customer telling a barber that he wants it a little longer in front
and would require a new piece to be made.
I'm only making this suggestion based upon my recent addition of the Sig-made plastic handguard cover to my Cross. This plastic piece makes the gun more comfortable to use and carry in the cold. It still allows a bit of contact between the carry hand and the metal receiver just behind the handguard, but it extends down to the magazine well and when utilized together with a plastic magazine like a Magpul it definitely keeps the hand warmer.

Now that is a sharp looking rifle. great work.
OK, so few more modifications are made. I sanded all the finish down, made a handguard a bit slimmer, significantly reduced the palm rest on the pistol grip, and made a cheek rest out of the same material.. Then i use "shousugibon" method on the finish to bring up tne grain lines.. in orher words torched the wood slightly
Absolutely EXCELLENT job D!!!
I might need to send ya a text some time soon again man LOL!!!

That's hot. Love the contrasts of black, stainless, and "orange" of the wood. It's a very 1970s/80s sniper rifles vibe, and that's an awesome vibe.

Love it.
Are you able to sight in the iron sights? Never thought of putting a pic rail on top to run irons - neat idea!
