Turned into a long work day and night. I'll take some more photos of blanks 1 & 3 and send them along later today when I get home. This was my first venture into buying blanks, and I knew I was taking a risk. I paid more than the starting pr

I saw that lot on EBay. For what you paid for it you did OK to possible very well. Everything will work, if you are looking at a through bolt stock job. Others are right about the grain structure in the wrist being a concern based on limited photos.

The chip out on the photo #5 blank might mean it doesn't take too kindly to planing? A good look at the end grain of that stick and the forend blank could be a good idea, it may have wicked up some unintended moisture. It still might be a nice blank,

It is a fine late season load as well. Gotta love #5s for ducks or pheasants anytime, anywhere. they will work in a Giant Canada too, if in a pinch.

actually, without actually seeing the pattern placement, I think it is likely that #3 over rotates that grain and may well chip out on top behind the fences. I like #1 a lot and maybe more than #3. The blank in photo number 5 might be a sleeper onc

Amazing gun Stephen. What a different look and feel. And the Liège is there (to which which Raimey will be nodding his head).

Need to see top, bottom and both ends to properly assess. The flash is but a small part of the equation.

I've seen and owned a bunch of high walls in 30 US, but never heard of an original rifle with anything but a 30" # 3 barrel which makes for a ponderous load in the woods. At the same time Winchester made 1895's with short and long barrels that w

First thing I look for in a blank is how the grain runs through the wrist. #1 looks a bit iffy, #2 looks good except for what you might encounter at the butt end. #3 is definitely the best. The rest of the wood looks like an odd assortment that mi

I love #3. It looks like God grew it specifically to stock a POW or pistol grip with.

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
