Source for really nice walnut blank?

[shortgrass]

Some of you have seen the walnut on my customs. I use Roger Vardy in Australia. https://rogervardystockwood.com/ Remember that the money exchange rate is to your advantage. .67cents US to $1.00 OZ. Roger ships promptly and has more stock blanks than anybody to choose from. Check his website.

And shipping is darned reasonable!! He doesn't gouge you at all on that!

There are several good places to obtain nice wood blanks, all depends upon your budget and patience. Several places I aware of as a shooter and woodworker are: Old Tree Gun Stock Blanks (http://www.oldtreegunblanks.com/index.html); Gunstock Blanks (https://www.gunstockblanks.com/); and one more: Burls and More (https://www.burlsandmore.com/Gunstock-Blanks.php)

Remember! Dry wood does not make it cured.

I am concerned that here in the mile high desert that I live in, wood that was "stable" elsewhere likes to move.

Having been around wood stocks for many years, I see what the old times said. Cure and dry are not the same. Another reason that I buy from Roger Vardy, all of his blanks are not for sale until they are 15 years old.
