Yes of course…luckily I had another Holland stock here( pictured below) the original had been crudely sanded and refinished so It was useless from a reference standpoint

don’t ask me where it came from but I liked the lines and the shape of the grip so I based the overall look of my stock on it…I do however like to keep my lines as sharp as possible through the process

The taste of poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten.........
