Been slowly working on getting a new stock made for a Sako 90 build. Started with a really pretty English walnut blem blank I got a great deal on. Going for some classic-ish looks but some inspiration from the RokStock. Above bore comb, near parallel toe line, but cut square to bore, short trigger reach.
I decided to do a 5 piece maple walnut laminate.
1, so I could skeletonize the butt to cut weight
2, wanted to add stability and strength against warping, cracking, twisting
3, I like the two pinstripe look, also makes it easy to reference center line and symmetry when inletting.

Still long way to go but here is my progress
