As some of you know I'm having a G&H style Springfield sporter built by JD. The subject of wood has come up. What do I want? Well English with some figure with the famous black lines in the butt with good grain through the wrist and fore end. Now the question, where do I look for the blank and what do I look for? Any recommendations on how and from whom to buy a gunstock blank will be gratefully considered. Actually I would trust JD to make a good selection but a large part of the fun is doing it myself. JD will tell me when I've gone wrong.
