For the roughing out, it's worth hunting down someone with a decent band saw, saves hours! Then a decent drum sander to bring it close to what you want in terms of curves, then do the final finishing by hand, otherwise you'll end up going mental doing it by hand!

 

The other issue is bedding it in. You need to be careful to make sure you get the bed the right shape to make sure the rifle is properly supported.

 

Are you going for skeleton, thumbhole, anything special like that?

 

It's a lovely piece of wood, £20 is a bargain!

 

Keep the pics coming.

It looks as though its going to be a thumbhole, looking at the outline hes got on the wood.

That was a good price for the wood mate

The shape you have scethed is looking nice.

You have inspired me to have a go too

Going to try and make one for my AAs200.

Good job mate, good luck, keep the pics comming.

Ye its going to be a thumb hole, haven't got the luxury of a ban saw so all by hand,,, figured out why its called HARDwood lol, by the way my name is James.

[samuri 4]

Cost £20, will show more tomorow. Hard graft when its all done by hand,,,think its goin to take longer than I thought.
