[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1337309, member: 101755"] Dosh...if you have ever worked wood stocks before you will really enjoy working with it. I partnered up with a guy. We cut trees all summer from a coastal lease I had. They grew huge down there...then we had them slabbed out. I think at one time we had around 50 blanks...then we were no longer friends...of course he had all them except 6 that I had in a homemade drier... Any way it is the most forgiving wood you will ever touch. You can finish sand it with 120grit paper of you want. Almost impossible to scratch the wood very badly with sand paper. It polishes out so easily. The laminated stock above took a week to get all the scratches out...I almost pitched it! I have three more blanks left...one is for the wife's Colombian 98 Mauser 6.5-06 and one is for another M48 Mauser chambered in 6.5x55....I did all the work on it too. Just needs it own stock. Not sure what will happen to the last one... [/QUOTE]
