Dudley, Yes stock is from an English Walnut blank, only one I had that was as heavy as I think I want on the gun. Have some good Turkish blanks that are heavy but I do a Superposed from time to time and like the Turkish for them. I have for years wanted to buy a duplicator, allmost ordered one from Don Allen back before he started Dakota but decided I couldn't afford it. They still interest me but I have so much junk in the shop and it is only 40 x 60 that I don't think I will ever get up the energy to make a place for one and learn to use it. I made sort of a tracer attachment for my mill and used it to make a quarter rib for one of my rifels but beyond that it doesn't have much usefulness. As you guys can tell I like to tinker. Regards JH
