Light weight straight stock Part II

Date January 19, 2009

Be sure to check out Part I

I decided that the stock looked too chunky and decided that it needed a trim. I always liked the english style straight grip and the schnauble type fore stock.  Took the stock to the sander to see what I could come up with.

That black mark at the end of the stock is the point of no return. Didn’t want to go past that point with the sander.

Nice and trim now.

Lots more sanding and some shaping to do. Haven’t decided what to do about the finish on the stock.

This is a work in progress so stay tuned for Part III
