You don't mention what the stock is for: rifle, shotgun (boxlock?sidelock?). Degree of inletting (95%-100%). Hansli is correct except I have paid as litte as $75 for a butt stock without forend. The fastest work I have experienced, with good quality, is from Show-Me: Route 3 South Wanta Linga, Warsaw, MO 65355 Phone: (660) 438-4568.

Turning cheap wood is usually a waste of time. It is very easy to buy some better wood turned from any of these guys. Check it out and decide for yourself. I am working on two stocks (Turkish and English walnut) now and loving it!
