That thin aspen they have is very soft but good stuff. I work for Lowes so I get a discount on it. I use that thin stuff mostly the pine and maple for making toys for the kids. It kills me to put a 3/4 board through the planer to get thin stock so their stuff is good for me and not to expensive. If you want something more exotic se if there is a woodcraft store near you.

That's great Timmy and glad to see that you are going to finally reap some benefit for your labors. People are or should be willing to pay for good craftmanship/workmanship and a man should be compensated for his time, effort and expertise. More power to you my friend and we're all behind you.

Thanks for all the kind words of encouragment Folks!!My Buddy Ping says he will buy me a big ole 8/4" X 12" X 12 ft. slab of Walnut!! That should be enough for 8 stocks!!Well,,,,, maybe 6 if I mess 2 of em up!!LOL!! We will pick thru the whole stack of Walnut to find a really good piece,,,, we are both good at that!! My Buddy Ping is a master craftsman with wood,,, he personally milled the oak wood for the Tall Ship,, "The Spirit Of South Carolina",, and also oversaw most of the construction!!He lives right next door & is always around when I need to bounce a few ideas back & forth with him. He is a charter boat Captain now. He has taken a real interest in my new gun/stock/grip busness & has been a great help to me!! He says I can pay him back $$ for wood & supplies when I start selling some stocks!!Thanks to Me Buddy "Mr Bob" I gots me a brand new drill press too!!!!!I may not ever go back to building houses,, I hope to be making stocks/grips ect for the rest of My time!! Tim.
