Back when Steve Durren did that series of serialized articles in the Journal on building schuetzens, "The affordable schuetzen" Converting a Mil Roller to a very elegant civilian sorting model, the one he did on a large frame martini, etc  he always went into a lot of detail in laying out and creating a stock form a blank.   obtaining and reading those articles would be a step in the right direction.

Steve could easily have qualified for the Gun Makers Guild as a stock maker.
