I took a gamble and bought a gunstock blank lot off ebay. The listing stated that the seller's father made custom gunstocks and kept a few special pieces that he planned to use some day. The seller thought they were 'English Walnut', but he didn't know.
I'm curious what you all think about whether I got a good deal (as far as you can tell from the pictures). I'm not planning to sell them. Just curious-- and hoping I can tell my wife that the "walnut chips", as she called them, that arrived at the house were worth at least as much as I paid.
Without my saying (for now) how much I paid, what do you all think this collection of blanks might be worth?
Blank #1: 
Blank #2: 
Blank #3: (does the 9/62 on this stock indicate that it was cut in 1962? If not, what do the marking on blanks mean?)
Other Odds and Ends that came with the lot:
