Crotch grain like that is very soft. The actual grain of that piece of wood is going directly across the stock. Stocks figired like this that i have dealt with in the past have been able to flex the wrist back and forth when the butt is clamped in a vise.

Pieces like this are best used on drawbokt guns.

That is exactly the opposite of my experience.

I think that stock is beautiful and would be proud to own that gun. And I would never concern myself with it being weak in the wrist... Never.
