Sourcing wood for stock master-kent
Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2017 4:18 pm
I am currently working on a project which involves making myself a new stock for one of my rifles.
I have been looking for somewhere from which i get a piece of wood to carve out to make a stock master which i can copy later in a nicer wood.
Thus far i haven't been able to find anything that will work, with everything either being too small (such as turning blanks) or only finding nice stock blanks (which are too expensive for just testing out a stock shape)
I work for a timber construction company, but all of the timber i have access to is engineered timber and so not typically the right size without nailing parts together.
So if anyone knows somewhere near Canterbury where i can pick up a decent sizer piece of something like beech it would be much appreciated
