[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 98217, member: 8"] A couple of thngs that I know and then a few things I don't know much about. Walnut is very hard wood. It will not shape quickly. A student will need to get the project done and study for other subjects. Think about a non-traditional softer wood. A shoemakers rasp also known as a half round rasp is a good tool for stock shaping. If the wood shop has a duplicating machine then things become much simpler. The way the old stock makers did such precision work was by undercutting ( I don't remember the correct term)the surface so the the metal to wood fit was only good and flush at the surface. Brownells has a lot of gunsmithing type tools. For a lot of homemade stock projects go to rimfirecentral.com [/QUOTE]
