I made a stock from a piece of myrtle last winter. A bit on the heavy side and, since it was for one of my silhouette rifles, probably not the best choice. It had been sitting in the basement for 25 years though and I needed a stock. Not bad to work with but it wouldn't be my first choice for a lightweight rifle. I've made walnut stocks, similar in shape and size, which are easily a half pound lighter. GD
