    Source for european walnut?

    Hi, Raszpla, I've admired your beautiful wheellocks online, and I only hope I can come close to your fine work with my project! Are you saying plum wood would be a good choice? I've never seen plum wood advertised, and I would think it would be harder to get than walnut! Where do you get your...

    In reply to my own earlier post which contained a disparaging comment about The Rifle Shoppe in Oklahoma, I have to retract my disparagement! I just received my assembled wheel lock with spanner today, a good two to four weeks ahead of what they estimated! The lock is a massive hunk of steel...

    That grade E looks very nice indeed, though F might do. Prices? I see they are in Germany and don't come right forward with their prices in euro's or dollars. I would expect they aren't too cheap. Hemo

    Hi, Jerry, What do you have? (Don't know if sales on this forum violate their policy, but I'd be interested in knowing more.) Thanks, Hemo

    $15,000 is a bit out of my league, but I expect I can find something suitable in the $200-300 range. Those super-expensive pieces of Circassian or odd hybrid walnut tend to have very wild figure in them, which I don't want anyway. Hemo

    Source for european walnut?

    Hey, Alex, As far as not being in a hurry, there's no problem. The wheellock lock I ordered is from The Rifle Shoppe in Oklahoma. My first order from them. From what I gather on online posts, getting parts from them is a matter of deep faith and patient, hopeful waiting. I also hear, though...

    American black walnut simply isn't the same as european walnut (Juglans regia). American variety has coarser grain and I believe is generally darker. I have used American walnut in an English flint pistol I made some years ago, and it didn't look bad, but as long as I'm investing substantial $$$...

    Source for european walnut?

    I'm about to launch into a new project--a wheellock jaeger-style short rifle. I'm trying to find a good source for a fairly straight-grained piece of English/european walnut (a blank) long enough for a short fullstock jaeger. Most of the online sites I've visited have only halfstock-length...
