| Nothing wrong with how he did it; I made my first one, in about 1967, with a hatchet. Stock duplicators being in short supply then. I know it was before 68 because I ordered the donor rifle directly; none of this FFL crap invented by the GCA of 68. |

| I can remember how easy it is to take off "TO MUCH" wood using a belt sander.

| That's alright for purely utilitarian type stock, but isn't art in my subjective opinion. However, everyone's ideas on art is subjective.

FISH!!
Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

| His stock design may be wanting, but his method of excess wood removal is fine; certainly not for those with shaky hands or lack of nerve. Of course it is dangerous and easy to mess up the stock, but after all, he found the wood under his house. |

| Necessity is the mother of invention. Not every stock has to be a work of art or cost a squillion $ unless you need to generate self esteem.
I'll bet he shoots more animals in a year with that 'bush' set up than most of us shoot in a lifetime. Good on you bro. |

| I don't care for the finished product, but I think he works very efficiently. Kinda reminds me of Duane's beaver wood eater. |

| You've got to admire his courage, I would never attempt that with a chainsaw... I flirted with something similar in this thread: Chainsaw grinder After my last post on the subject I tried it on an inexpensive blank and had pretty decent results, but if I even blinked the thing would plunge right in. I was nervous enough about taking off too much that the time saved wasn't worth the stress, so I quit using it. Maybe one day I will use it to carve a bear... |

| Quite a talented guy.
I suspect if he was provided all the same tools that the professional stockmakers have and a year of apprenticeship he would give them quite a run or their money. |
