kiln dried ... Yesmikej wrote:would it work if it was kiln dried ?bucont wrote:The trick here is the wood needs to be well dried before you start. Therefore a lumberyard wood will not cut it. It must be rough cut and then it must sit to dry further otherwise you will get warpage on the finished cut and that is not good at all.
I'll make an attempt on my bow and see how it goes. This will take months not weeks so please hold on. I'll keep posting to let every one know the progress.

Keep up the good work bucont! Im root'n for ya I cant carve or build anything out of wood. My perfered material is steel. Sadly that does not make for a very good stock. Needless to say, If you manage to produce some of these I would be in line for sure.

Guys, there is a cheap and easy to work with solution. I made a stock for my Exocet years ago and it is holding up fine. I recently made a stock for my 223. The wood is baltic birch. You can buy it in different thicknesses. I I cut the shape out with a saw, gluem together and then shape it with an angle ggrinder witha sanding disc. Give it a good sanding to get rid of any bumps and ripples, and you are ready for staining and tung oil finish. because the Baltic birch is a laminate, it resists the tendancy to warp and the stuff is as tough as nail.
I will take some pics of my newest 223 stock as soon as the oil is dry.
Look into it, it is inexpensinve and fairly easy to do. I would think nice crossbow stock would be easy to do.
here is my current 223 stock and forstock. Both are being redone as we speak simply because I found a design that melts into your hand.

That is correct. It comes just like a piece of slightly nicer plywood. When glues together, shaped, sanded and stained, this is what it looks like. I will have to post my current project this afternoon but it is pretty slick looking.
