Put the hand gun stock on hold for a couple weeks, about to try and finish this pattern. It is a rear grip for left hand action, Stryker style, laminate walnut blank shaped much as the VLP with added pistol grip.

What makes a good grip? I have the grip 80% shaped. Added some "wood" below the tang as a palm cradle. I think it needs the same on the bottom of the grip too, probably use a piece of maple.

The pattern I had to start with was a target style stock with a long pistol grip. Cut it down and started shaping. If I can get a good shape, this one will be a pattern for the duplicator.
