I picked up a nice piece of American black walnut recently and was wondering if it'd be rite for my Cogswell & Harrison 375 H&H  ....the grain is straight and tight and should make a very pretty stock....will post pics once its completed  zubin One shot..meat! Two shots...maybe...Three shots...heap shit! - Old Indian adage | ||

Why not? You may be more likely to need a couple of crossbolts to take the recoil, but a nice piece of black walnut can make a fine stock..... "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||

If it were me, I'd use English walnut on a Cogsy. NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

If I was going to all the work it takes to make a stock, then I personally would use a piece of English or better yet Turkish..but you can make a stock from Black walnut, it been done for many years...To me most black is porus, spungy, and too heavy, seldom checkers well, but in all woods their are exceptions to the rule...

American Black Walnut is my favorite wood. It's a beautiful wood even if it's plain grained. If you generously glass bed your barreled action to it and use crossbolts fore and aft you'll not go wrong. The crossbolts may in fact not be needed but they sure look good in the bigger guns and add the insurance that also makes one a little more secure with the finished product. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

the cogswell I have has an addition tapered recoil lug few inches forward from the receiver recoil lug, so will crossbolts really be needed in inspite of this? if stocked and glassed properly it'd make one helluva tough rig with crossbolts added 
....jus wanted to know..
