I fitted pieces of wood to the action and forearm in last post, and have them close. I installed the cheekpiece and donor stock to the inletted fir pieces.
Next I bondo the wood to the action and bondo the cheekpiece into the stock.
After drying I rough shape the bondo with a coarse rasp, and later I'll do final filling and sand to a close finish.
It doesn't need to be perfect for a pattern, but the closer the better, as that saves woodwprk later!
The forearm is next to get a few more pieces of wood, and then final shaping with bondo and a rough rasping. Here it's fitted to the receiver, and will be shaped the rest of the way when the fit is perfect.
The next steps will have to wait until after the Christmas break!-Vall
