I think the important thing to take away is that there are lots of ways to get to a shaped stock. Some tools remove wood slowly and allow for more consideration as shaping proceeds. With other tools, wood is removed much more rapidly. The more important point is to develop an understanding and vision of what you are trying to create. This doesn’t come out of thin air, but rather comes from careful consideration and study of fine or and contemporary rifles. I’m probably wasting my time saying these things as it’s been said so many times before. The problem isn’t with the chosen tool, but with the understanding of the person operating it.
