Wow! I am jealous of your level of talent. Looks like you can really turn a hunk of wood into a working piece of art.

Re: .243 project(lots of pics)
A couple questions-
What kinds of wood have you tried?
What moisture content do you start with & finish with?
I'm interested in making a stock or two, but worried about long term warp...

About 20 hours, hand tools only. Stock is birch laminate. The laminate does not need to be dried. The laminate stock is best! If only it remembers to deal with "oil".
