This is a beautiful and nearly perfectly laid laid out 2 piece stock set of NW (Oregon) American Black walnut. This set of wood was purchased by a good friend 25 years ago at the Reinhart Fajen liquidation auction in 1998. I bought several of those Fajen blanks from as he bought nearly a full pallet of wood there and this is one of the very best of the bunch.
The set is all heartwood no sapwood ,large knots or bark pockets. There are a few small brul knots far in the rear of the butt that will not interfere with any inletting. Perfect grain flow through the wrist blank with color and crotch figure throughout the butt section with lots of curl and smoky color stripes.. The figure in the forend that matches the curly grain in the forward section of the butt with good grain flow as well.
Dimensions are -
Buttstock blank is 2.0" thick x 15.75" long by 6.75" deep it is a full 6" deep at the grip area. The forend is 11.75" long x 2.25 H"X2.25" thick".
Note that Buttstock blank is NOT thick enough for a stock with cheekpiece but at 15.75" long it is enough to get normal LOP 13.5" stocks for most ANY gun with a two piece stock including Over-unders Savage m99s, Ruger Number Ones and Sharps rifle.. Longer LOP up to 14.5" can be made using 1" pads.
The forend is long enough for just about any type of Over funder, lever gun or single shot forend.
My Price on this set is $275 shipped. USP Money order or PayPal as payment please.
