    Thank you!
    You're right about acoustic-electronics, in the audio field the madness in on the agenda. I wanted to try some good real wood, not the usual plywood or mdf, I found at good price this Afromosia. I decided to accept the challenge knowing that it would not be an easy job with the tools I have, using many small strips it's a real pain, with regard to flatness and mounting tolerances.
    I've always been attracted to traditional finishes, unluckily not easy to find in standard quality weapons, most use PU lacquer. I remember that years ago a friend built wonderful stocks for air-rifles, Ginb (Antonio Gentilini) with sono kembamb and teak doreng wood. He usually used Tru-oil because good looking and fast to apply but on request he made also oil and shellac finishing. I've always liked his stocks but I've never had the right air rifle.
