[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1462353, member: 24284"] The biggest drawback to laminates is they are so unfriendly to the chisel, gouge and scraper. Most of that glue that's used just doesn't cut worth a darned, and will dull your inletting tools in a heart beat! Good hardwood for rifle stocks doesn't come on the cheap, and I guess that's the 'rub' in all of this. A good 'stick', properly fitted to metal and shaped for proper handling and sealed (there's the key, proper finishing and sealing) is down right expensive. I guess that's why laminates and synthetics 'rule' these days. [/QUOTE]
