Custom Krag stock work?

[S.B.]

As many here know I own a sporterized(barrel shortened Redfield 102K aperture sight added etc.) 1898 Krag that I've recently purchased a stock that I would like to have fitted to me and my rifle. My go to stock maker has recently passed away and now I need these services. I know whenever I'd take one to Don it would take several visits to get the fitting to me done right so, is there someone in central Illinois who comes to mind for this particular work? Should I send it away and get the action fitted to the stock first or look for someone close who can do the whole job?
