The blank you chose is about perfect for this gun. Fiddleback grain in Juglans Regia is not as common as it is in black walnut, and rarely that intense. It would be awfully hard to part with a blank like that

I, for one, am very interested in as many fine details of this stocking job as you are willing to share. I'm sure there are others who feel the same.


Well that blank was really nice on first appearance and I knew it would be even better once the stock curvature exposed more of the grain and the finish was applied…only thing was there was an area around the top right horn that was a bit cross grained and I had to be careful heading up the stock, after that it was smooth sailing

After James left I scraped the left side of the bank and wet it to see what I had bargained for….I was quite happy to say the least
