Doan Trevor — An Artist with Wood and Metal
Doan Trevor is a master gunsmith and stock-maker who works in the old style. He still hand-crafts stocks from start to finish, and does all the metal-work on the custom rifles he builds. Starting with highly-figured woods, Doan carves and shapes his stocks largely by hand, with meticulous attention to detail. Each rifle he builds is optimized for its intended discipline, and custom-fitted for the customer.
With the help of his talented wife Sue (who does the photography and builds the web pages), Doan has created a wonderful website, DoanTrevor.com, that is a feast for the eyes. You can see beautiful wood-stocked rifles being hand-crafted. Doan also illustrates how he creates custom metal parts, and how he beds barreled actions into the finished stocks.
Set aside a few minutes and visit Doan’s website. Be sure to click on the site’s secondary pages: Rifle Building, Woodworking, and Metalworking. You’ll find dozens of high-quality photos and fascinating information on gun-building.

Doan’s work is second to none. His skills are top shelf and his ETA on his work is very reasonable.
If you want great work performed by a true craftsman without having to wait a full season or more for a turn around, give Doan a call.
BTW, Doan is a pleasure to deal with — which counts for alot in my book.
Very nice work, I wish I had your skill set with wood.

Doan,

Artistry, incredible attention to detail!
Doan is indeed a great guy and a pleasure to deal with. When I lost the practical use of my right eye he quickly built a set of offset sights for me. He has since built 5 more sets for me. He helped me continue shooting when I thought all was lost. I’ll always be grateful.
