PM from a fellow forum member....he's willing to cut an unfinished stock for me, if I provide the wood blanks. If it works, he might begin producing them.
At last!!! We may be able to cooperate and get an American resident stock duplicator/ modifier that we can go to for better quality stocks for some of our precision equipment.
I'm going to do it. I'll send him my Taipan Veteran stock to duplicate, and ask him to shave off unnecessary, wood to reduce weight and improve looks. I can sand, stain, and finish the shaped blank when I receive it. However….here's my problem: I don't have access to wood blanks of any quality other than lumberyard 2 X 6 lumber. Can anyone help out here? Have you got a couple pieces of hardwood laying around that you can spare?
If I can secure some decent blanks…I will post pics, processes, and full results in a lengthy post! I've got the wood working materials to final-finish a shaped stock, but we need a couple of wood blanks. Can anyone help? If we work together, this can be helpful to all of us!!!
PM me if you are willing to help...might be able to get one done for you...
