dorg Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 As some of you will know I am playing with making laminated stocks, after speaking with Dannyt last night I wondered if anyone fancied shaping their own stock, I could then copy in a very nice laminate when ready. The way it would work would be either you aquire an old stock or I could supply a beech blank semi profiled, you then shape and file, building any areas up with carbody filler until you are happy with the shape. I then copy it for you to final finish. Would this interest anyone. Cost to copy would be about £275.00 your thoughts please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchking Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Could you copy any stock in reason like thunbholes etc? Cheers Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyt Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I must say Simons work is first claas ive seen his early stocks and i have no doubt he will be the best value in the uk bar none . I cannot wait for the rutland laminate to arrive. This is a real break through for the uk at last and not before time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krabryn Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Simon, as I understand laminate is denser than timber due to the bonding glue, at the other end of the weight spectrum can you provide the stock in synthetic to be really lightweight?
