July 9, 20178 yr Author Wayyy off on last one. New sketch. Now to adjust as needed once I have them in hand tomorrow. Edited July 9, 20178 yr by Jay
July 9, 20178 yr Author After doing these sketches ive been looking and now cant make up my mind on what i want to use for the final run. Walnut, snake, tiger, purple heart, koa??? Decisions decisions. My wallet will make that choice for me lol
July 9, 20178 yr I was rummaging thru my wood shed today and came across this. It is a blank used to make a Pennsylvania Long Rifle. I got it in a trade for some work I did a couple of years ago. It is almost 6' long about 10" wide at the base and about 3 1/2" wide at the top. The entire blank is a little over 2 1/2" thick. I was told it was curly ash but I think it is just plain ash. It is yours if you want it.

And by as much as i could zoom in on pic it appears it may be curly ash. I think i can see what looks like alternating soft/hard grain. Hope so cause that is a wood with a beautiful finish
July 10, 20178 yr Sorry, phone picture. Had to take my Mom to an appointment I didn't know about. Going to UPS tomorrow.
July 11, 20178 yr @Jay I have the wood ready to send, can you message me with your address? Thanks, Lew
July 11, 20178 yr Author We got some good and depressing news too. l went to the main VA (Bay Pines) yesterday. Praise the good Lord thier one of the best and top one in fl. Saw TBI doc and she worried things have gotton worse. I have to go have an eeg mri for brain TBI optimologist TBI audiology blood work and nurology for increased seizure activity. I have to have TBI asap due to the symptoms im experiencing and stated immediately following the last time I knocked myself out. She believes theres a good chance im leaking spinal fluid in to sinuses. That also a risk for a hernia of my micro processed. Ughhhh..... Edited July 11, 20178 yr by Jay
July 11, 20178 yr Wow, Jay! Hope things go in your favor. Glad you have a great VA hospital there. I go to the one in Martinsburg, WV. Great people there, too.
July 11, 20178 yr Hopefully you get good news back from them. I've heard a lot of mixed stories about the one that they moved from the old Brecksville location.
July 12, 20178 yr Author Ty all. Tomorrows the big day but i dont know if I'll get results tomorrow though. On the plus side now that I have my guns back I was able to get measurements. I've done rough outline still have to shape and make adjustable cheek wield. It's comfy! Maybe it's because I'm so used to shooting an m16
July 13, 20178 yr Author Well i was wrong mri is next thurs so well see what happens then. Had to bond some on to the stock as i didn't take into account grip angle. So did that shaped and cut cheek wield out. Lol more shaping then on to to internal hollow out.
