| TYPES OF WOOD BLANKS We stock Claro and Black Walnuts, Maple, English, French and Turkish Walnuts. We do carry Bastogne and Myrtle woods, however there is less selection available. Each species of wood offers different characteristics such as figure, color and contrast. Careful consideration will go into selecting a piece of wood, factoring in the stock dimensions, type of gun, caliber / gauge and grain flow. Always consult the factory when your not sure about the wood type best suited for the project. |
| WOOD BLANK QUALITY We only use qualified wood suppliers who supply high quality, stable wood blanks. There is a method to cutting blanks so that the grain flow is correct and will be able to produce a quality gun stock. While we will cut gun stocks from customer supplied wood, we will not warranty them from cracks that may develop later. |
| CLARO WALNUT: The most widely used gun-stock blank in the world. In this same category is Black and American Walnut, all mostly grown in the Western US. Claro Walnut is a strong, close grained wood known for it wide range of color streaks such as reds, yellows, browns and greens. Claro Walnut is stocked in all grades and we have a variety of figures, such as fiddleback, color contrasting and feather crotch. |
