tough choice on stock color.........

Post by bob1961 »

i am going to make myself a wooden stock for my exocet....i wanted this color laminated wood as i thought it's the cats meow....

Image

i can get a full uncut 12" x 34" x 2 1/2" blank in that color from one company for 140 bucks....went searching for laminated wood dealers and found another company that i can get the same size lami blanks for 75 bucks plus shipping....but not in the color i want from picture above....the guy emailed me a picture of what he can get me and here are the choices i picked out from the many he sent....

Image

the birch is the closest he has to what i want, but i'm not digging the blue in it....if it was a grey from the coffee colored blank that would be it....the desert is growing on me as it is a 3 color combo as is the brandy colored one but not sure of the red/white/blue scheme....now my stock is camo so there is the timber color i'm liking more i look at it....oh the decisions one must make in life huh :roll: ....the good thing is the size of the blank i'll get i can make 2 stocks from it so i can sell one and get my money back selling the other one........bob

Desert would be my choice. You could call the others dessert with all those colors. You can't get a more stable piece of wood than a laminate.

I'm making a wood stock for my Exocet as well. Taking step by step pics to post here eventually. Making it almost entirely with hand tools the old fashioned way. Old fashioned wood too...walnut I cut back in '85. Gary

I like the Timber most and Desert 2nd.
Should produce a sweet looking stock for sure!
