Shaping the stock:
I divided the forearm side into 5ths and rounding the sides better. This slimmed down the sides of the stock more. I removed the square forearm which came with the precarved stock.
From the George Schumway book, I made a template to help me flatten the area
behind the cheek area on the butt. 
It is made from a scrap piece of card board. Hope this photo helps you make one. Here I positioned it onto the stock with the wrist portion laying flat on the wrist. The gap behind the cheek piece shows me where there is extra wood to be removed.
Here are some photos of the stock so far.......
