I'd probably start with a blank first time around...to get the proper grain, form and curve depending on the region and period you choose TS.

Places like Dunlop Woodcrafts or Track of the Wolf have blanks available. Short of starting out with a piece of rough-cut lumber... But maybe that is the challenge you are seeking.

The Bedford County rifle is my personal favorite

R10
