WOOX Offers New Wood Stock Options
News Briefs - May / June 2026

WOOX, manufacturers of Italian-American made gunstocks, axes, and knives crafted with the finest materials and the latest technology, has launched a new line of rifle stocks. The WOOX High Grade Line is designed to transform functional components into enduring pieces of craftsmanship that are truly a work of art. The result is a rifle that will stand apart, reflecting both the performance and personal taste of the owner.
“The WOOX High Grade Line is dedicated to those who seek the highest expression of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship,” says Ben Fleming, CEO of WOOX USA. “Crafted from high-grade American Walnut, each piece is hand-selected for its exceptional look, grain depth, and contrast. We look for wood that stands apart from the rest.”
According to Fleming, the beauty of this new line lies in its individuality. “Every piece is naturally unique, with grain patterns, color variations, and character that can never be replicated,” he says. “No two pieces are alike, making each High Grade Walnut product a one-of-a-kind creation shaped by nature.” To honor and protect this premium material, every High Grade component receives a handmade oil treatment, carefully applied by WOOX artisans. This traditional finish penetrates the wood, enhancing the grain’s natural movement and richness while preserving a warm, authentic feel. High Grade American Walnut options are currently available in the new Elegante series, as well as the Bravado, Gladiatore, and Superleggera product lines.
“The outdoor industry simply does not get the credit it deserves for being the primary funders of land, fish, and wildlife conservation in America,” said OSCF’s executive director Jim Curcuruto. “Smith & Wesson has one of the longest histories of funding wildlife conservation, and we are glad to shine a light on its efforts by presenting them with the 2026 Conservation Partner of the Year Award.”
In addition to supporting conservation through the Pittman-Robertson Act, Smith & Wesson also sponsors many wildlife conservation organizations each year, helping each one achieve its mission. “Smith & Wesson is honored to be recognized by the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation as the 2026 Conservation Partner of the Year. Our collective commitment to the protection and preservation of wildlife, habitats, and the hunting tradition is essential to the American identity,” said Mark Smith, S&W’s president and CEO. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated customers and staff, whose support enables us to make a meaningful impact. We look forward to many more years of ensuring wildlife sustainability for future generations.”
