Just in case you don't have the wood yet...I have two exhibition stock blanks hand picked at the Purdey production site in the 1990's...the blanks are far more figured than any circassian guns I've owned...I believe it is tessier French walnut root wood...the wood was purchased from Purdey for $450 each...I would sell them for $200 each plus shipping...money back guarantee if it's not the most figured wood you can find...it's the nicest wood I've seen in 43 years of old gun collecting
