I don't even know where to begin advising you for a first project. First,I would advise making a stock for something worth well,a bit more. Secondly,thumbholes are a nightmare for a raw beginner. Stick to the basics and go SLLOOWWW.
I guess in this case, the monetary worth/value of the rifle is in the eye of the owner. It was one of the few things I got from my grandfather when he died and is my first rifle. I would sellevery other firearm Iown before this one (minus the first shotgun I received from my other grandfather).
I have a couple emails into Wenigs and another place that do the inletted stocks. No response yet so I may have to call.
Thanks!
