going by the pics, you started with a chunk of maple?
Actually, the stock was a pre-carve from Pecatonica River. It was semi shaped and inlet for barrel and drilled for ramrod. The stock grade is CM3. I had to cut in lock, triggers, thimbles, nose cap, toe plate cut for but plate and do the final shaping of the stock. I did a pictorial on the entire process on Facebook. 78 pictures in all.
