[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1146417, member: 13110"] Why not foam fill the voids to help with the hollow sounds? A buddy of mine does prosthetic work and uses a foam that weighs almost nothing. I'm sure it is similar to what the carbon fiber stock makers use. Another idea.....why not use a small aluminum insert for the swivel stud bases. It will be much stronger in the end. Other than that it is a cool stock and a great idea. I hope it works out as it could revolutionize wood stock use for light guns. Even if you had to use a 3rd piece between the two sides that wasn't hollowed out as much, making it more of a laminated stock, it would still be fairly light yet add a spine to strengthen it. I'm curious about the amount of time to get it machined and then glued up as well. [/QUOTE]
