Why would you go to the expense of making or having a stock made and use plain wood? I know some folks think field grade guns should not have nice wood. I like to look at figure in wood regardless of the engraving on the gun. But regardless of original wood, it is so expensive and/or time consuming to have a stock made, I don't understand doing it with "apple crate" wood.
