[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 777750, member: 24284"] Aging is important, also. Gives the blank the time to relieve the natural stresses within it. It's not unusual for a blank to be in my shop for 5+ years (after reaching 9/8% +- moisture content by my meter) before even considering it. As for your choice of wood,,, well, there's a reason why gunstocks are traditionally made of Walnut and , sometimes, maple or cherry. To each his own. Some lessons are best learned the hard way.
