Dad's Savage 99 was restocked by Percy as well. It looks like walnut but is more open grained. I imagine there are a lot of old Dryden district that Percy had worked on.
I tried to work a rear stock out of black ash that was well seasoned. After wearing out a rasp and getting blisters I gave up the idea of a hand made contender stock. I wish I would have had a dremel tool.
