Browning GTS Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 No not length but time. I have just cut a good thumb stick. That i am going to attach a furrel. When i have done this before, the wood shrinks and the metal becomes loose. The question is how long after cutting do you keep the stick before working on it,in order to allow the wood to shrink?
