Would have to hold the blank in my hand with the pattern stock that was to be duplicated. That's the only way to know for sure IMO. Falling also into the FWIW, category, I once bought a Turkish blank with outstanding figure that the layout was so crappy, that the stockmaker (Guild Member) sawed it into a number of forearm blanks and a few for turkey box calls. That was an amazingly stupid (and expensive) mistake. But, I never make that error again. Their is such as thing as feather crotch Turkish. Here is an example of such stocked by Guild Member Dan Rossiter.
