[QUOTE="B1s BmagX2, post: 2099752, member: 116037"] Yep, as Wolf76 said that's what my experience with Boyds has been. They are actually pretty good stocks for the money, but every now and then your gonna get a lemon! After my experience with the Spike Camp shown below, which I mentioned in my previous thread, I question whether I would ever buy another one? I have also had laminate cracks like Tiny Tim mentioned. Being a retired luthier, I am all too familiar with wood cracks, laminate or not. It's a relatively easy fix, just mix Tightbond with about 25% water and work it into the crack. I have syringes for injecting glue into tight spots, but a can of compressed air will drive it in. Clamp it for at least 24/48 hours and you should be good to go. With all that said, when you look at all the other offerings out there the Boyds stocks still make the most sense to me, if you're not afraid to do some extensive fitting and some glue work occasionally. Ahh, can't wait for those hot summer days here in Ohio... [ATTACH type="full"]247081[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
