Wow just a little bit change of direction there. I think you made a good choice there, I have never been ashamed of any rifle I have built they have all been learning experiences. My first build from scratch I named the Ugly Duckling for a reason, it wasn't intended to be pretty, it was built to fit me and win matches which it did very well. I like the angry beaver with a scratch awl, got to remember that one. If you haven't seen it look up the video, The Gunsmith of Colonial Williamsburg. Wallace Gusler rough shapes a stock with a hatchet in it. Good luck take your time and keep your tools sharp. Going to be sharpening my chisels again tomorrow. working with a piece of wood around 30 years old and that thing got hard over the years.
