Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ask Wayne van Zwoll Questions About "THE WALNUT YOU NEVER KNEW"

Not the greatest photo, but I have one of Don Allen's rifles, crafted before Dakota Arms was launched. 7X57



Some years ago I was doing work on the side for a millwork shop in central Florida. Very top end work and they used a wide variety of wood from the span of the planet. Africa, South America, Asia and even the US of A. The work was not related to gun stocks, but I'm curious if there is a reasonable alternative to walnut that serves the purpose while still carrying some esthetic value.

One thing I do know is that there are some crazy wood patterns growing out there.

Zebra Wood


Cocobolo


Parota


And more, much much more....
