Wood stock, who?

I’ve been building a few rifles the last 3-4 years, the common denominator has been synthetic stocks, Manners, McMillan mostly but I’m really wanting to build a couple in the next 1-3 years that have wood stocks. Doan Trevor type of stocks is the best way I know to describe what I’m after. I’m obviously gonna reach out to Doan but I’m assuming his backlog is daunting maybe not.

Anyways, who else is out there making that type of a stock. I’d like to get my hands on some exhibition wood and really have a couple rifles built that with top shelf wood stocks and craftsmanship.

Ideas and input welcome.

I don’t see any contact info?


Josh is on the radar, he’s the first person I thought of and I think we are gonna connect on a stock, at least I hope so. I need to find the right blank.

Besides being a great stock maker he’s just a good guy, thanks for the recommendation!
Joshb here on the forum, great guy.
 
Two timer! o_O
Ahahaha, I’m all in if you want to do 2-3 but I figured your in demand so I better be happy with one.

I’ve been looking at some killer blanks, I’ll get you take a look before I buy though, in case you see something I’m missing.

Aw! I’m just poking fun. I’d just slow you down, given my production rate. I’m averaging 4 a year. :(
 
 
You can get some very nice Claro blanks from them, I have done a few stocks from them and they are a little bit of work but they can be very nice stocks.

I have one in the Field Trekker model and am now looking at doing one in either the Benchmark Style or the Prone Culbertson. Just cannot decide if I want to do it in Walnut or Laminate.
