You make it look easy!

Based on the cheekpiece, you must be a south-paw. If you ever grow tired of that stock, let me know!

Thanks all for the compliments, but I had many great suggestions from fellow members on this forum. If anything I'm a good listener.

It'll soon be time to think about what finish you are going to use. It is a great piece of wood that you are turning into art!

Haven't commented so far - but I've been watching!!!!

Looks good so far, and I love blackwood! (I used to use a lot of it when I made game calls.)

This is the first time using an exotic wood. The blackwood is very hard, so I liked it for any spot on the stock thats coming to have contact. Hard to work with and the sawdust is like lead pencil dust. Its a very different wood.
