stock blank

[Stophel]

Hey, Mike, what was the guy's name that has all the really NICE walnut (and maple too) that was set up behind the Gunmaker's hall building at Friendship? Good stuff, great prices. I only wish I had discovered him sooner... :winking:

Well, actually, maybe we shouldn't tell anyone else...that would leave more great wood for us! :thumbsup:

That most likely was **** Miller.

Freddie had a whole truckload of wood at Friendship & I would have been interested in some but it was so rough you couldn't see the grain patterns well, IMHO.
If I am gonna pay $ 200-300 for a stock blank, I want to KNOW how the grain lays, not guess at it. :hmm:

real hard to tell... :v

 

[Slowpoke]

I would never tell where I get my premium wood [strike]Ron Griffey[/strike] because it's getting harder and harder to find.

I do know of a tree that is incredible but it's on government land..... we could get it out with 2 days of work. Who's with me !!!!

I am real particular about the grain structure in the stock blanks that I buy. I will take good grain structure over outstanding figure or curl any day. That said, I have looked at stock blanks from just about every wood dealer there is and I still buy all my wood from Dunlap or **** Miller.

I am too. In no way am I bashing Dunlap or any other who sells blanks. A lot of what I use are plain stocks. Some of the blanks I have and have used has barely any figure in them at all. I used to buy blanks from Dunlap, as a matter of fact I have a doosie of a blank up in the rafters from Dunlap that I bought 8 years ago. Here for the last three years all of my blanks have come from Freddie though.

I think we all are looking for a good stock and that a # of people are selling quality blanks. The wood I by from Freddie is all quater sawn (with one exception, my decision) with the grain that follows the wrist and through the butt stock at a great price.

I am a wood junkie. If I see a decent stock at a good price I'm going to buy it no matter who has it. Like Slowpoke said its getting harder to find, and not getting any cheaper.
