[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1603635, member: 105102"] I have made a few stocks from blanks with a just hand tools, and everything said by others sums it up! It's alot of work, but if you are determined you will perserver......start with a nice block of walnut, without tricky grain for your first one. Not many other woods work as nice as walnut and still have the strength. I cut a large Walnut tree into blanks 6-7 years ago, and still have a few extras around. Keep in mind when looking at blanks, air dried vs kiln dried wood. That's where the big cost difference in blanks often lies.......If you decide to go the blank route, and are interested, send me a PM. I'll see what I have left and if there's any that interest you. I'm more the type to encourage you to try it.......even if you don't succeed, you will learn a bunch in the process, and if it's fun the time isn't wasted! Good luck whichever way you decide to go.
