    I would not go putting a stock in an oven, we had a shooter who was caught in the rain with his full bore rifle took the action/barrel out and left the stock next to a wood fire heater in the house and next morning hey presto ruined stock was like a bannana

    That is why I stated the wood should be "room-dry" whenever undertaking this sort of action. I have done this on multiple old wooden stocks when refurbishing and never had any cracks or bends afterwards.
