Does anyone have a copy they're interested in getting rid of? I can't seem to find a copy of it anywhere!

Well, I used every book search I have and came up bupkus. Sorry. I called Wolfe Publishing and they have no more. The lady had been there just three years and knew no more than that.

I met the author at an American Custom Gunmakers Exhibition some years ago, and bought this book. He told me it was his very first sale and so inscribed a photo that he included with the book. Guess I'd better hang onto it, huh?

If i were in your position i'd hang on to it! unless, of course, i could bribe it away from you!:-D

[Nueces]

Thanks! I've been trying to get into stockmaking for a couple of years now but have no idea where to begin... this book should be a BIG help!

Not sure if you know but it was reported at Accurate Reloading in the custom built rifle forum that Wesbrook died. That was 22 Feb, 2019.

Stock making is a dying art.
I don't think there is anyone here doing it anymore.
Last good one, Earl Matsuoka, passed a few years ago.
There are still some that do it as a hobby, but only for themselves or friends.
I was never a good enough woodworker to even try it.
I did save a few stock blanks from being thrown away.
Maybe someday I'll find a use for them.
