Not sure where to put this post....[yeah I know you all have some funny ideas]

I need to reduce my inventory soon. I want to make room for new equipment. I will start listing these woods for people to inquire about. Thanks for taking a look. I mostly sale to game call makers, wood turners and some gunstock makers. I do have more 2-piece burl Claro walnut sets than what are pictures.

There are two quilted maple gunstock blanks in there. they are right at 2 inches thick so no real room for error.

Guys like me that have a duplicator would like to see the following information for one piece rifle blanks:

Length

Thickness

Height at butt, height at forend

Photos of both sides

Asking price

Thickness matters, especially to me as I put a lot of cast off in my stocks.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Those quilted maple blanks are not for you! They are very thin at only 1 15/16th and 2" but 3 on the fore end and 8 on the butt with 37 inches of length.

There are two different blanks here.






The guy who cut those needed shot.

I do have a funky piece of burl that is from a Claro walnut that was cut full length rifle. It would need to be a pretty small caliber i imagine. Will do better on pics in future.

The two piece stocks are all over 3 inches and some as many as 5 or 6, except the English which is around 2.5

Thanks!

I do not need any maple, I have about 80 blanks.

Always looking for walnut in minimum thickness of 2-3/4", I prefer 3".


My biggest complaint with blank suppliers is their sawyer that cuts them too thin!!!!

For fun length in walnut all I have is that odd blank of all burl. The piece blanks I have 5-6 left in burl all over 2.5 inches

There has been a lot of talk in the past on what a burl stock and other woods are capable of withstanding, IE what rifles they are suited for. These are all burl mostly, and there is no rhyme or reason to the grain flow? What can be done with them?
















oops, disregard the maple boards [THEY ARE FOR SALE]. I have wood species in the wrong folders somehow.

BLACKWOOD HAS SOLD SOLD SOLD

Gabon Ebony [also called Gaboon, but the area of origin is spelled Gabon so I will go with that] that I purchased along with two blocks of African blackwood for the tip on a custom rifle I was building. I choose one of the pieces of blackwood because the gunsmith liked it. This piece looks the same as the day I bought it.

I took the picture from the side with the streaking to it. This makes it's Grade a B+ [Grade B: Black/brown wood with noticeable lines that are dk. brown]. The blacker the wood the higher the grade.



It is just shy of 2" X 2" and just over 4" long. It has the edges bull-nosed.

These are pictures from three boards approximately 34"-36" [depending on which one] and 2"X8". They have been air dried for over fifteen years. I have had them for five of those. They were to be used in a cabinet project in the Director's House for the Pacific Lumber Company in Scotia, CA, but hard times for that company changed all of that. I now have these for sale.

I consider these once in a life time dense old growth redwood figured boards. Of this size is very uncommon to rare.






My wife informed me I need to stop taking photos in my workshop because it is too messy, but hey, I recycle!
