.270 build - stock maker

[Wduryea]

I’ve got a model 70 and I’d like to replace the standard stock with a nice piece of walnut. I’m in Illinois - having a heck of a time finding a stock maker, would prefer a maker who could source the walnut and help me avoid making mistakes. Anyone have stock maker recommendations or best practices for acquiring a blank and turning it into a stock?

I got a guy for you... he built me a very nice 35 Whelen on a Springfield action. Let me dig up his number and send some pics of my rifle. He's also very reasonable considering the work that goes into stockmaking.
