I have looked at making a special one off stock for a Mk1 Airsporter for a few years but the cost and obtaining a suitable blank has always been the problem.
It's an Irony, I once scratch made a traditional carpenters tool box all fitted out in exchange for a walnut blank - then left it at work once I had left!!! dumb or what?
The walnut used in the manufacture of the original BSA Centenary stocks will not even be medium grade quality, but it will still be fairly decent - the stock on my own is fairly decent but nothing 'special' ,it is nice!

The blank for a walnut airgun stock is typically about £10 even for a "custom" job.
