I have Chestnut trees next to my house. The "early nor'easter" brought down some fairly large branches. Luckily, the trees are still standing, and should be good to go for many more years.
Anyway, I have a few questions about making gun stocks out of this stuff. Please keep in mind, that I have no idea how any of this works...
What's the smallest branch that can be used to make a rifle stock?
Is there a way to preserve/dry/cure any pieces that could potentially be used to make a stock?
Is it ok to have a 'knot' in the middle of a piece that's large enough to make a stock?
From what I understand, it's pretty rare to have Chestnut trees growing anywhere in North America... Am I sitting on a gold mine?
