SDHNow add a shadow line.
What is that wood? Looks like madrone I had cut many years ago?

SDHStill needs a shadow line surrounding the base of the cove moulding. Each end should disappear at the point.
R.G. Owen stock from the 50's
SDH stock from the 20's

dpcdI like them to have a smooth curve from the CP into the stock; NO shadow like; those look awkward to me.
In fact, I can do without any cheekpiece at all, but I remove the shadow step from any stock I get/make.

Well, it certainly is
easier to eliminate details. I think a shadowline, when well designed and accomplished adds character to a custom stock. JMHO

dpcdI just don't like the look of it. I actually removed that detail from my patterns too. I like a smooth transition from CP to stock. No steps.

richjI'm not sure I want to go that far. I have another mini-stock I may try it on.
