In the 1990s when I was newly married and had no money I wanted to restock a Greener double. CSMC sold walnut blanks in those days so I wrote Tony Galazan a letter asking him to pick a stock blank for me. I enclosed a check for as much money as I could afford, which wasn't very much. I received a beautiful Turkish walnut blank that was probably worth many times more than my check. It was a very nice gesture for someone he didn't know and who at that time certainly couldn't afford one of his shotguns. Tony is okay in my book.
