Was down doing some work at my folks place today. My dad said he was cutting down one of his heart nut trees because the shells are "to damn hard" to crack, and was wondering if I wanted it for stock making.
From what he said, it was a cross between a walnut (english or black?) and a chestnut. Don't know if there will be any blanks suitable for stocks until it's cut.
My question is, has any of the stockers here ever built a stock out of heartnut wood or is it even a viable wood for stocks?
Thanks,
Cameron
