Any suggestions for good stocks for this? I'd like a good light fiberglass stock, and would also like to try my hand on a semi-inletted walnut jobbie to fight the post-season blues. (I have no fear of glass bedding.) I prefer a conservative design with a straight comb and preferably no cheekpiece.

Please provide web addresses if applicable.

Thanks,

John

Which one did you get? I'm considering their "English Stalker" as having adequate style to overcome its cheekpiece.

Also, what grade of wood did you get? As a relative beginner in fine wood finishing, I was thinking of getting the standard grade (defect-free) or select.

Inlet the action and don't worry about the gaps. Then glass it in and make a pattern that suits your needs and shape. You can redo the stock to fit you to a "T". Then ship it off to someone who has a Hoenig duplicator and the final inletting will be a 2 hour job and it will be near perfect. It will end up costing you a bit more in the long run but the job of inletting will be first rate. And that is the most noticeable things that separates a first class job from the rest.
