[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 3020456, member: 103471"] Chiming in with my two cents. I've built a couple stocks, from raw dimensional lumber. Laminates, so to speak. I don't cut inlet by hand, I use a router. And it's still very time consuming. I made one for a buddy, bedded it for him. Start to finish, over 500 hrs. He wanted to help me start up stock making business... I said Heck no! And then I showed him all the little boogers that I left in his stock, and explained that no way in hates would any one pay a premium price for that level of work, and frankly, I'm probably not capable of getting to that level. Mind you, for myself, my stocks are nice. But they couldn't even hold a candle to a..say, a Joel Russo. No way. [/QUOTE]
