Default RE: thumbhole stocks

I am a fan of thumbhole stocks, and have one in synthetic on my ML and two in laminate (a 10/22 and my 870 deer gun) Iit will be hard finding them in solid wood and I don't know that I've seen any. Because the stock gets so "small" near the receiver, and given the direction of the grain, it would be prone to breakage due to the recoil. The laminates provide the required multi-directional strength.
