[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1451347, member: 24284"] Gkgworks has it right, there is a big difference between air dry and kiln dry. Also in consideration should be the 'age' of the blank, after it is considered 'dry enough' to make a stock from. There are dozens and dozens of good stock duplicators out there. Most don't have big, fancy web sites, like Richards does, with lots of pretty pics of highly figured woo stocks. Most of these duplicators are one man shows, and the quality of their work matters to them, personally. Richards is a "big name outfit" that hires people to operate their machinery. Think about that for a moment...… And, the independent guys , besides doing a better job overall, have much better turnaround times...... [/QUOTE]
