I was avoiding saying that.
Only because the slight curve I'm laying out bears no resemblence to the goiterous appendages some Beretta's come infected with.
I'm trying to quantify an ellipse that while only an eighth, or quarter of an inch, can seem elegant, or disgusting, depending on the tangents.
If I scale enough drawings, then where the crest of the ellipse is can be located in it's most beautiful position. At least to my eye anyway.
Some straight hand stocks look like they were designed with chainsaws in mind. Some just look too sharp in profile.
Over the years I have found I am less attracted to perfectly straight lines. They look mechanical.
