I was thinking the exact same thing about those stock blanks buzz. Most of them would be best suited for handgun grips or ballpoint pen turning blanks. But that fancy feather and crotch figure draws in a lot of people with flamboyant Liberace type personalities, and makes them forget what makes a good gunstock.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Why are you so nasty bOb...

Fact is after checking the prices of a pointer grade 28 guage superposed you might be onto something...I think if you had the stock lay out drawn on the wood it would be easier to see what you might end up with.

Good luck...Just a thought bOb.

Interesting and worthy project Bob. While not something I follow, I can only recall holding one 28ga. Superposed in my life. They are not exactly thick on the ground. The second set of barrels really makes it a special project. Choked differently than the first set?

It's been my observation that most Pointer wood is somewhat "linear".






I chose Blank #6 due to it's linear composition, the symmetry
from side to side and its' damn near straight grain through the wrist. Easy feathering and almost no fiddleback.
SKB, Second barrel set is factory choked at Full/Full. I'm thinking IMod/LMod, stamped Full/Mod
