[QUOTE="USAF Marksman, post: 1101859, member: 69087"] Shortgrass- Thanks for all of the input and links. A #3 grade Claro walnut blank from Wally is the same price as a laminated blank from boyds. It would be HARD to make the wrong decision there. I guess I was thinking a walnut/maple laminate for the look of it vs a solid blank like that. I'm very pleased to see that a NICE piece of wood is so affordable. I will certainly be taking my time on this to minimize as many mistakes as possible. I am planning to shape a piece of XPS foam to the shape I want, then take measurements off of that to help with finishing up the wood stock. Can you guys recommend what tools would be best for a first timer for inletting? Also, should I inlet first before shaping the stock? It seems like that would be the logical thing to do, maybe not though. Thanks again for all of the help everyone [/QUOTE]
