When a little button buck I had my .22 in the wagon and hit a huge woodchuck hole with the tractor
and about 50 locust posts jumped into the air and came back down on my stock, snapping it at the wrist. I glued it but it broke several more times from not very much stress.
I finally made a cherry stock but f'd it all up as far as looks went. Last winter I set a goal of making a better effort at a replacement stock. While winter was mild I set aside some time and walked away about a million times as patience is not my strongest trait.
Anyone else here play at making a stock from a raw plank? What woods do you favor? Id never seen a cherry stock on a gun of any description before. My final hurdle is my brass but plate isn't fitting very well yet. I put myself in a time out as it was pissing me off, next blizzard it will get addressed.
I'm thinking of an Osage Orange stock for my SBL 45-70, green wood and stainless steel would be unique.
Some turkey calls I made in the long cold winter also.
