[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2113937, member: 87371"] Very pretty rifle with good wood on it. I like my maple stocks to be darkened a little more than that so the figure stands out more, but this one sure is pretty. Something I found out (the hard way) is that fiddleback maple, because it doesn't have the long grain running through the wrist, is susceptible to breakage right there. You might consider drilling a hole from the back of the action cut into the wrist and putting in a thin steel rod held in place with epoxy. That will strengthen the wrist and not change the look from the outside. [/QUOTE]
