[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 1923598, member: 104002"] Reason top gun stock wood is so expensive is because the wood comes from the very base of the tree trunk. All the figure around ground level and above straight grain. The best rifle stocks are very figured in the butt though straight grained in the pistol grip, action and forend areas. I have been watching a large walnut tree growing for over 50 years so might be ready shortly. This one is 60 odd miles from the coast so might be a little sappy and hard on the tools to work.
