[QUOTE="tinkerer, post: 1039414, member: 50973"] I prefer wood down to 8% moisture or less, naturally dried with ends sealed to prevent cracking. A little grain curvature down at the grip/butt is nice. Crotch makes very tough wood, but pretty. And on that making stocks for a living. I just dabble on the side, and it works out to about $.50 an hour ultimately when you factor in wood costs, tool costs, and just labor, especially during the sand and finish stage. Maybe ask Joel Russo about cutting and finishing your wood? Larry Tinkerer [/QUOTE]
