wooden stock
Restraining frame for punishment
A wooden stock is the handle portion of a rifle, shotgun, or similar firearm—the part held against the shoulder when aiming and firing.
Stocks were traditionally made of hardwoods like walnut or maple, shaped to fit the hand and absorb recoil.
The term distinguishes traditional wooden construction from modern synthetic or polymer alternatives: He preferred the feel of a wooden stock to plastic.
