Hello Folks

I am at the stage of sourcing the blank for a new stock for the Mauser Kurz Model B that I am slowly upgrading (from its severely bubba'd state).

I am having a little difficulty describing to the purveyors of blanks what would be typical Model B grade wood. I have been describing it as “very plain but dense and with good flow, and middle hue when aged”. I keep getting pictures of blanks with all sorts of figure – only a very few of the pictures I’ve seen of Model B’s had any figure at all, and even then it was a few modest streaks.

Any ideas on how to describe typical Model B grade wood ??

Thanks - Foster
