The H wood is not bad for a bottom grade gun. All Syracuse Lefevers had European walnut. I have a nice stick of thin shell set aside just in case I have to restock a gun some time. Dark streaks and straight through the wrist, matches the Parker B and C wood of the day.

Its not as nice as this wood on a friend's gun, but it will do.

American Black Walnuts have "thick" shells.

Sorry I don't know what is meant by thin or thick shells. I suppose I should ask what is a shell as it relates to walnut?

How does that relate to the figure or quality of the wood?
