Amazing work and the grain in that stock is going to look great.

That's amazing !! Do y'all do everything from scratch or do you purchase certain parts ? Most of the parts are purchased. The stocks start as planks, so that is all hand work. A lot of the brass are rough castings, so filing, sanding and polishing them. Locks need tuned.

Amazing work and the grain in that stock is going to look great. Thats why the carving will be simple. The wood is so nice we want to let it show itself off.
