Sooo , what grade is quilted , and birds eye , and tortoise shell maple? We must be talking plain striped , or curly maple grading. 
Guess plain "curly " maple is what folks settle for today.

I think quilted and curly maple are different but similar types of figure, Birdseye is altogether different. The grade isn’t about the type of figure but rather the amount of it.

The wood for the gun stock is fancy. The wooden bench, tree, chopped log, and stump are plain, ha! 
I believe Jim does some milling work now for quality control.
that is funnythe fancy wood for me is like dressing a good looking woman in fine clothes.
and remember Cynthia, i have met you and know you like fine clothes!
For those who haven't met me I'd say my fashion sense is best described as "Holly Hobby turned into a Stoner and said screw it"
I know what a stoner is, but who is Holly Hobby?
Was a fictional character created by Denise Hobbie. Made a lot of dolls of her years ago with a mod podge of colors and designs all on one dress (think checkered pattern on quilt, but random colors or designs such as plaid).

I thought you resembled Galadriel the day i met you.
I must have been headed somewhere that day. I tend to dress in homemade skirts and have frumpy hair

i think i am going to start buying from Kibler. building from a plank is just getting to be a bit much for me and the end product don't look like that. have 3 plank builds to finish and wonder if i will get them done, or may have to get an extension on life!

We would call that Fiddle Grain and rarish in European or Curcasiun Walnut Very saught after on Game guns early 1800's. Not seen here now on Best grade guns. O.D..
