Google scrub plane and I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like.

Post by: KC on September 11, 2019, 06:05:12 AM: I bought two from Tom Snyder, one for roughing out a barrel channel and one for roughing out a ramrod groove. Google Snyder’s Custom Guns and you should find his contact info. He’s a great guy to deal with.

I can’t see how a plane does this job well if you mean defining a cheekpiece after the buttstock is rough shaped. Is this a rounded cheekpiece? Most rough in with a gouge and finish up with rasps then scrapers or sanding.

Post by: P.W.Berkuta on September 11, 2019, 07:51:41 PM: Go to YOUTUBE then find Paul Sellers web sight - he shows how to make a low budget molding plane. You can modify the style he shows to what you want but like Don said a wood rasp will do the job ;).
