| That is quite the stock- very nice. Is that Birch, or what sort of wood? |

Its just plain old maple, I usually use maple its harder to work but doesn't ding so easy, I picked some old bookcase shelves that were being thrown out and laminated them and have made several stocks from them.  Howard |

| I like working with maple too. My local lumberyard is now carrying teak, and I am really interested in trying to work with that. |

| Nice, are you going to engrave it fully or leave it at this? |

Teak is very rough on your tools and will dull blades and chisels very easy but it is beautiful when finished.
the designs on the stock are burned into the wood with a pyrography pen, then next stock waiting to be done will have some carving done on it I just haven't come up with a satisfactory design yet. have a good day Howard |

| I would say that the action needs some MP-5 oil, quick. |
