I drive a school bus and I start my vacation next Thursday. I've been building a new shooting box using dovetail joints (still learning). All I have left to do is forge the hardware, but I picked up a tapered .40 cal. Bill Large barrel (new old stock) and I've had to start a rifle for my wife. It won't be in time for her birthday, but she doesn't seem to mind. It's looking like a tough one. It's an old precarve and as usual the lock mortise doesn't line up properly with the breech which means I have to set the barrel back at least 1/8 of an inch which wouldn't be a big deal but whoever chopped out this stock didn't leave much wood where it's needed the most. But it's very highly figured and I built another rifle 2 years ago from its twin. Too nice not to try. But anyhow, I've been working on stuff between bus runs and now I'll have a little more time to get something done. That looks like a nice piece you've got started there.
