So I had some more free time and progress is slowly continuing on the build. More refining on the stock shaping. I added some builders bog to my initial rough shaping to return a bit of smoothness and allow a little easier shaping

Adjusted the LOP and changed the position of the recoil pad. Straightened a few lines and smoothed out some others. Added a thumb rest and generally adapted the shaping to my body.

Got a PTG bottom metal on its way. Still deciding on what sort of bipod I will end up with , probably an Atlas. Lots of shaping and refining to go. Next weekend or so will start on the forend. Don't mind sharing this, partly for myself to document the build.
Will hopefully get this bit of Blackwood looking something like the above shape
