    I started shaping with a rasp and 80grit sand paper, in retrospect it would have been easier glueing the fore and butt to the action core first as i cocked up the fore and it was a little crooked when i glued it on, luckily there was enough meat in it to true it up.

    I also tweaked my original design of the comb somewhat as it was ridiculously high.
    Here is where I'm currently up to.
    I still need to tweak the wrist, palm swell and shape the fore. I also need to cut out the barrel channel.
    Once all that is done i will seal all the foam with lightweight body filler then once it's smoothed out it'll be glassing time.
