[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1508899, member: 2736"] Good Laminates work very well using hand tools and in fact that is my preferred method so I don't remove to much material at a time. I normally use a rasp or special wood files to get the shape I want without dealing with splintering as with wood grain direction. It is my preferred stock material for many reasons. If it is a good quality Laminate, it is pressure bonded and the resin prevents many of the problems with splintering and soft spots that require special attention. They are also the most stable of wood products used for rifle stocks. There balance is well suited for rifle stocks and they are very durable and weather proof if properly sealed. I use the hand rubbed finish process that makes repairing and scratches easy to repair. So whats not to like about good laminates. other than an occasional hi grade hardwood stock for looks, all of my stocks are in laminates. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
