Just a little foot note I am a master carpenter and cabinetmaker by trade I've got over 55 years in the trade my father and grand father were both master carpenters as well as cabinetmakers too I put in the old fashioned european training, and used to build custom homes as well as furnature and boat work , both wood boats as well as yacht varnishing, This is just a part time retirement hobby job, Your custom stocks are one of a kind since each is indivualy made no mass production here each will be slighty different since they are hand made also they will be built out of 2 pices of lumber laminated together with epoxy glue so their will be no tendecy to warp, the theory is that 2 pices will cancell out each others tendacy to warp. Thanks Howie
