Being from the South I tend to really appreciate some of the species that grow here more predominantly than other regions of the country, like longleaf pine. It is, of course, not suitable for gunstocks, but I have wondered whether pecan would be a suitable gunstock wood. It is very hard, and dense, and is used to make furniture often. We have a bedroom set made of pecan, and it has great color and character. Pecan is a nut tree, like walnut, and is used for spoon and bowl sets by woodworkers often, and it makes beautiful kitchen cabinets.
Anyone ever heard of it being used to stock a gun?
