[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 521421, member: 24284"] She's a pretty "Plain Jane" piece. Got 'feather', but, not positioned well for a stock. Besides the dimentions you gave, thickness is [I]very[/I] important. Especially if you want a cheek piece. American Black Walnut (dried) like the piece you have will generally sell for in the $60 to $80 dollar range (+ shipping). As important as the wood, is the person/company who will 'turn' it to a pre-inlet. Not all do a good job. I see some that are advertised as "90 percent inletted", but many times not inletted on the center line. I have several different sources for stock blanks and know a good pre-inletter. PM for more info if you'd like. I see some knots that will be problematic on your blank. There's a good chance you'll find voids in them, somewhere. [/QUOTE]
