Re: Teak 80 - Part one: The stock

What we did :
We asked the local timber yard to cut us some lengths of teak and then we glued these with West System glue.

We used a table router to cut three cuts for the trigger mech and a side cut for the line release.

What we shoud have done:
In hindsight it would have been better to buy one large length and then cut it ourselves into thinner laminate strips for a more rigid gun less likely to warp/move. Additionally after it had been glued we could then run it through a plane/thicknesser to get a completely straight stock. Our original method is fine but this would be an improvement (if you have access to these tools).
