Normally I’m not a fan of full length stocks but that’s absolutely beautiful. The metal work is outstanding too. The lady will be proud to carry that chasing game for a lifetime. Are you looking to adopt? LOL
Well executed! I agree with several other posters... no amateur work there.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling

JA, one of 2 blanks I have ever bought off ebay. IIRC, about $250, perfectly quarter sawn end to end, perfect layout as you stated. I felt like I hit the jackpot when I got it in hand.

Dang, I was actually working up the nerve to post a few photos of my Mannlicher, but now I'm not so sure as your results would put mine to shame! Excellent work, I'd probably be tempted to leave it out of the stock just to drool at the exquisite inletting.
