    What do you want done ? Sanding back to bare wood ? Checker work is the area to watch. If you want the whole stock, including checkering done, best to send it to a real pro with specialized tools. Maybe check with Mitch M who he recommends for wood work.

    If it was a non checkered stock, I'd do it for ya, but too easy to fcuk up the crisp edges...

    Think we're got to the bottom of it

    Chatting with AO today, and mentioned, it, he suggested it was moisture
    Just just got it back from being fitted, would have been steamed to get it to bend, thus will be full of water - makes 100% sense now

    Chuck it up in the roof for a month and see what happens

    Spanners means in the ceiling where the pink bats hang out and the air is nice and hot and dry.
