I haven't heard the word flitch used forever! We refer to a " flitch " as the first cut off the log at the mill with bark still on at least one side before it's run through the edger.
I've made 296 stock for doubles, most of them L.C. Smith guns and I don't think there have been a dozen pre runs in that whole mess. Nice post Lee and good to hear some of the terminology with which I'm familiar. Jerry
I have some killer full length ( 5-6 ft long ) full feather crotch cherry pieces. I need to find someone building high end muzzleloaders. They are beautiful blanks, trees cut down by me when I owned the timber company and sawed at our mill.
