which ones do you mean? I don't have them numbered.

According to photobucket, in thestring of pics, #'s 14 and 15, there is a stock that has very outstanding stripes. What kind of wood is that?

I think you'll find thats when he got creative and played around with some ink. :haha: :thumbsup:

To no one in particular: those are some beautimous patchboxes. I'm balking at doing one on this Jaeger rifle. Can't seem to get up the courage.

Thank you all.

Photobucket doesn't show me pictures numbered like that. Just the album name and the individual photo name.

Anyway, I'll say that virtually everything there is either stocked in sugar maple or walnut. :wink: The Dickert-type gun above was sold to me as a piece of unusually hard red maple. :wink:

If you're talking about this thing:

it's plain sugar maple with stripes painted on (painstakingly) with India ink. I still need to finish this gun...
