A gunstock that is provided that includes a core, a unidirectional fiberglass layer, a decorative layer, a woven fiberglass layer, and a resin impregnating the layers. The core includes a forearm, a grip, and a buttstock. The unidirectional fiberglass layer is laid over the core. The decorative layer may be a fabric or a natural foliage that is laid over the unidirectional fiberglass. The woven fiberglass is a seamless sock that is woven directly over the decorative layer. Resin transfer molding is employed to impregnate the resin into the fiber. Once impregnated with the resin and cured, the fiberglass becomes transparent along with the resin such that the decorative layer can be seen through the fiberglass and resin composite. Composite crossbolts are also provided through the action area of the core. These crossbolts include fiberglass arms that extend along the sides of the core toward the butt of the stock. A method for constructing a gunstock as described above is also provided.
