I will take a minute to share about the filler I used. It’s a great product to use because it dries really fast. Almost too fast. It’s called Famo Wood Filler. You need to buy a can of thinner with a can of filler and thin the filler by 50%, at least. Even when thinned, it’s dry in a minute.
It took me 15 minutes to cover the stock. I gave it 5 minutes and started sanding. It’s a lot faster than wet sanding to fill the pores.

Been working on a dedicated F-Class stock.
Using poplar wood for trial and error and there’s been a learning curve.
Got one to final that I really like, the hardest part was getting the palm area to feel natural.

Here’s a sneak peak. Have loaded up on some really nice exotic woods.

Not a true finish on this since it’s poplar wood.

Come a long ways…
Wasted some good wood learning.
From left to right the first 3 were learning curves. Actually took 6 tries to get it right.

Where do you find wood big enough to make a gun stock . thickness isn't the problem but every thing is all small pices .
