333_OKHNorCal Gunstock and Craft Woods
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.

WoodHunterGuys 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!

333_OKHThanks!
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

WoodHunterThanks!
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!!!!

333_OKHGabon 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.

333_OKHThese 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!
