I have a heavy (14 lb) target m/l roundball rifle, that was built in the 1950s, that is stocked in locally grown cherry. It is very straight grained and plain............ but it is a shooting machine with the right load. A gift to me from the widow of a dear departed friend who built it.
Also have an old Husqvarna Mauser Sporter in .220 Swift that is stocked in "Arctic Beech", according to their literature. However, that is a generic term used for some of the Husqvarna stock wood of the 1940s, when my guns as made. The wood is actually European beech, Fagus Sylvatica. Light colored, and kinda plain, but seemingly very stable.
