Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks

With Dustin Knutson, Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks

For Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks, material quality and consistency are essential. The company relies on wood that performs predictably while offering the flexibility to create a wide range of distinctive colour combinations.

CWP Laminated Blanks provide Boyds with a combination of consistent quality, manufacturing flexibility and an extensive colour palette – supporting both established designs and customers looking for something more individual.

“At Boyds, we are very impressed with the quality, consistency, options and service CWP provides. Our success is supported by their partnership.”

Consistent quality for demanding products

For Boyds, the choice of material starts with quality. The wood needs to meet consistent standards from one blank to the next while supporting the requirements of their finished products.

“Our products demand high-quality, consistent wood. We found that CWP offers this together with a large array of colour combinations.”
Dustin Knutson, Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks

CWP Laminated Blanks combine carefully controlled manufacturing with the natural character of wood. The result is a material designed for applications where both visual consistency and reliable material properties matter.

Quality and flexibility

When asked which properties are most important in CWP materials, Knutson highlights two qualities in particular:

“Quality and flexibility are most important.”

The flexibility of laminated wood extends beyond its physical properties. Different veneer and colour combinations make it possible to create a broad spectrum of appearances while retaining the distinctive layered structure of the material.

From traditional colours to individual combinations

Brown and grey remain among the most popular colours in the Boyds range, reflecting the traditional character associated with wood gunstocks. At the same time, customers increasingly value the possibility to make their product more personal.

“The more traditional colours of brown and grey are popular. But people like to customise, so having a large array of colours helps us give the final customer what they want.”
Dustin Knutson, Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks

CWP’s extensive colour selection gives manufacturers the freedom to offer both understated, traditional options and more distinctive combinations. Colour becomes an integral part of the material rather than simply a surface treatment.

A partnership built around material and service

For Boyds, working with CWP is about more than the laminated blanks themselves. Consistent service, available options and a reliable partnership all contribute to the collaboration.

And what would Boyds like to see from CWP in the future?

“Closer to the States :)”
Dustin Knutson, Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks

A simple answer that reflects a long-standing partnership – and a shared appreciation for quality wood materials.
