Reshaping a wood stock

(1/3) > >>

Gear_Junkie:
I just received a new stock that I would like to reshape a bit.  Thankfully I bought it unfinished.  The inletting is off-center a bit and one side of the stock is about 3 to 4mm thicker than the other.  I would like to sand it down to match the other side.  I'm hoping for some ideas on how to do this without screwing up the stock.  I probably don't have the appropriate tools to make this an easy process.  The only thing I have is an orbital sander. 

I'm thinking of using the sander starting with 100grit paper to remove the majority of the excess wood and then switching to 200 grit when I get close.  Would this process be too aggressive?  Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

I would start with 60 grit if you have it available. Otherwise, you may be there awhile.

I would check to make sure any mounting screws remain centered.
