Buttstock has it right. For years it puzzled me why the best British gunmakers seemed to have sourced their wood from Louisville Slugger, but now it is clear.
A couple of years ago I stocked a 700LH for a friend using an inexpensive semi-inlet blank made from an attractive piece of claro with some figure in it. It was a budget project. Early in the hunting season, the new owner slipped when climbing over a deadfall, and I had the stock back within a few weeks.
