I would love to see the French and English stocks when you done. I really like wood stocks with "Fiddleback" or as I call them "Tiger stripes."


The ones I have don't have much Tiger stripe in them but they do have a bit of mineral striping in the grain so they should come out pretty nice. But I'm always looking for another nice piece of wood. I do have a bunch of fiddleback maple I'm going to put on a rifle soon.. I do have this one with Tiger Stripe down the whole length that I just put on my 26 Nosler. Did this one a long time ago...
