...Gunstock woods....
There is nothing new under the sun.
There is a book by Virgil M. Davis
"Gunstock woods and other fine timbers", published
by SouthLandPress,Inc. 1987, in limited edition,
no ISBN
I bought it a one of the west-coast-trade-shows in
the 1990's.
It has ALL the questions and ALL the answers re gunstock-wood.
..
Please note that ALL the rosewoods (lat. Dalbergia)
are on Cites, plus Red-Sandal-wood ( lat.
Pterocarpus-Santalinus),Bubinga, Pernambuc,..
Not because of you and me but because of the
new wealthy Chinese middle class crazy for
these precious wood beauties.
Madagascar has the highest bio-/rosewoods-diversity
in the world,
44 indigenous trunk-building trees, not found anywhere else .
You have no chance to get one gram of these purplish/red beauties, its all POWERS RESERVED PRC.
...
Anyhow, you have the best gunstock-wood-choice before your house-door, go to Calico in Santa Rosa/California. There is nothing comparable
to their yellow/black-marbled Californian walnut or their Claro.
Cheers
