A bit more info. The only blank quartersawn is number 2. Everything else is slab sawn. Number 1 is akin to being as dense as Ivory. Number 5 is really bizarre. It could be amazing when turned or you go what the heck happened?? I believe number 2 and 3 would be very consistent on each side when turned. All of these are very dense. Guess thats a circassian trait.
PS. My stocker has already restocked one gun in California English for me and one in Circassian. He said the California English was a tad easier to work with, but the Circassian was much much more dense.
