Looking for someone in SE Ohio/N WV/NE Ky or "reasonable" distance from Athens, Ohio to copy a pattern stock in good walnut, mostly because I'd like to go over the details in person. Thanks!

A friend has one in west central WI.

Custom Rifle Stocks in Aaronsburg PA is 5-6 hrs away from you. He's done one job for me and will get more of my business in the future.

I used a few of those years ago when Mike Kokolus was still alive. I never have seen a better made semi-inlet stock than those he made.
I hope the new owner can keep the standards as high.

Yep, those guys are good

Thanks. That's not too far away at all.
