I bought several pieces of Tesssier french about 30 years ago. Beautiful stuff. I had three blanks and one is worn by my custom Fox, another I sold and the last is a perfect rifle blank and is going on a left hand G33-40 7mm X 57 from GMA.
I have not seen much true, high quality French walnut for over 20 years here in the US. The Brits bought (still buy?) a lot of it, but even they are going to Turkish now, I think, for new blanks.
Wood from irrigated nut trees is usually not that great... the best seems to come from shade trees planted over a century ago.
You might shop around the UK for blanks?
