Few more pics.

I fitted the rear butt plate and shaped the patch box side, still have to sand a lot to get the area smooth. The line im also trying to sand out is coming out but very slow. Once i finish up this side i'll move on and finish the cheek piece side, should be fun.
I stopped at 4 coats of stain, i used 2000 grit sand paper between each dry coat and stopped when i got the color i wanted. Topped it off with its first coat of boiled linseed oil and let it sit in the warm sun all day and then hand rubbed it more. Came out nice with one coat, but needs many many more. Im thinking i should be done with it this weekend.
