RE: wood camo or black synthetic
 

i do work on wood refinish build stuff so on i hate anything laminate because under the laminate is one of to things depending on how cheap the maker is

it will be either mdf or medium density fiber board or crap wood it is wood chips and saw dust and glue

and there laminate that is made with basically cardboard which is crap and what most cheapdesk and book ca9.loes is made of today

now aveneer stock is made with real hardwood that is cut paper then then glued to wood

I love wood stocks but lets face it, if you buy a wood stock it will get all beet up and chips. So my next preference is black synthetic.

You are thinking of a different type of laminate. You are thinking of a laminated counter top or cheaper furniture.

A laminated gun stock is pieces of wood that are glued together then cut and re shaped. It gives a distinctive look and is supposed hold up better to weather. Sort of in between regular wood and a synthetic stock.

Think of a butcher block, sort of the same concept. At any rate it is solid wood, not something applied over top of something else.

This is the inside of a laminated wood stock.



And this is a picture of some laminated stocks.
