I think it varies according to design and wood.

You coudld PM or mail Mark and ask.

I have a thumbhole laminated on my Exomag.

He does fine work. I highly recommend his work.

I can't afford one now, but I'm thinking that a wooden stock would add more weight to the rear end of the bow, which I think would make it much easier and more steady to hold and aim. Kind of like a wood stock shotgun compaired to a synthetic stock shotgun.

I just wondered what I would be looking at for a price for one, so I know what I'd be getting myself into.

What is Mark's username so I can message him?

Yes, they do all of the above and actually quiets the bow down a 'little'.

Yes Tye, that's him. When I bought mine he charged me US$225 + US$25 for shipping. Since the Canadian dollar was worth a lot less back then it came to approx. $325 Cdn.

Now it would be about $290.

AHh yes Doug, I remember your Vixen's stock, it was very nice

I liked the feel of the thumbhole and the extra weight in the rear.

When you say Laminates, is a grey laminates the same thing (price).

The grey stock looks awesome

Mark does very nice work. His stock does quiet down the bow considerably and makes for better balance.

Yes, that would be what i would want, or a camoflauge one. Is that one finished or unfinished?

These stocks are incredibly beautiful. Mark is surely a craftsman of the highest order. Do they add much weight to the bow?

Those are nice, I always have wanted one. Maybe next year.
