calmly ranted:

Don't know how others might think, but I think laminated wood gunstocks look
every bit as ugly as polymer/fiberglass stocks. However, look at the site
http://www.acrabondlaminates.com and look at some of the photos of their
laminated stocks. These guys have a proprietary? method of laminating two
veneer-quality panels on the outside with three crossed panels inside.
Anyone got any ideas how they do it, please post them here. I assume they
are using vacuum pressing and the outer layers must be thicker than your
usual veneer. I would bet the upper and lower parts of the main stock (back
end) are solid wood strips. I would like to try it, so any ideas are
appreciated.

Probably anhydrous-ammonia-saturated thick veneer (very bendy stuff
from what I've heard) formed in a vacuum press, then glued on like a
shell and finished. Pretty cool for plywood, wot?
