[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1058897, member: 8362"] Ya, thats the "deal" with custom wood these days, the price! There are only a few out in the world who know how and can do a expert job, a dying art, so to speak. Time and patients, have a plan, have the proper tools (you can't buy 'um at ACE). Clayton Nelson will be at the Wanamaker Show next month. I plan on being there to meet him in person as he will be teaching a stock making class at Trinadad this late spring and I am thinking about, possibly, attending. It would help me 'brush-up' my skills and I'd bet he knows a trick or two (or three or four or five!) that haven't crossed my pea sized brain. After speaking with him over the phone and seeing a pic of him in the school broucher, he appears to be in his early 70's. Been making stocks all his adult life, over 800. Man, those guys from that era are just full of info, much will be lost when they are gone. The instructor that taught stock making when I went to school had learned from his father as a teenager. I graduated in '93, the instructor retired in '95, that will tell you about how old a man he is. [/QUOTE]
