Hey Mellowroad man Tim here. Ok Im set up now to make a stock for your P-5 Diana pistol. As I said before the final sanding & finishing will be up to you. It will most likly be a 3 pc. laminate kinda like the one I posted here awhile back,(Tim posts pics??). Just go over to Kliffs site& check "general board" & "New Here". You will see I just need you to send me info in an onvelope. Look forward to hearing from you Tim. P.S. thanks for joining us,Welcome aboard!

You work with wood. i do some gun cab so on. Have a shop smith sitting in the shed, what a waste, been there four a yr now. there is all kinds of stuff with it dont even know what it all is. It was my fathers, no place to set it up.And if i did i would have no time off wife would see to that LOL.

Hey Anon, From what I hear the shopsmith is a pretty good multi purpose woodworking tool. Im old school&like differant tools for the differant tasks they are meant for. My "thickness planer" is down now & will make my job on Marvins stock a little more of a challenge.No biggie,Ill just rip the center "laminate" on table saw & double it (width wise) to get the overall hight I need to get a nice comb drop configuration. Even ripped from a table saw Im sure I can get a snug fit from the outer laminations to his frame. Even though there will be imperfections,,ripping vrs.planing,most of those will be filled by expanding poly glue,("gorilla glue") And mostly un noticable. I never said this would be my finest work,just a crude little carbine stock for my friend Marvin. You can see it at,kliff53.proboards.com go to pics,& 2250back together-finally! That is a pic. of what Marvin can expect. I call it,crude, but effective!!Tim. P.S. Anon, Please post your name,The guys here at Diana Werks are The best! Welcome aboard. Tim.

Got one of them to beelsaw i believe 12 or 14". Up in the attic there is cherry walnut and some oak, my father was a craftman.

Hey Rayburn 11, Since your father was a wood craftdman, I suspect the cherry,walnut& oak you have "stashed" from him may be very valuble. Maybe highly figured or 1/4 sawn. Dont know about you "attic"?? but in moderate climes, your wood could be around 5-15& moisture content. With a little stableization (storing inside) you may have a goldmine of stock/grips lumber! Protect your Dads wood! I still have some from my dads stash.Lord I miss him! Maybee I can make somthing for you from your Dads wood? Tim. timmyj1959@yahoo.com
