Stock duplication

[ssgross]

Dunlap woodcrafts in Chantilly, VA. Call and talk to Danny. They have a website, but you should call if you want anything. He can select a blank for you, and their prices for blanks are much better than you will find on the general internet. Mr. Dunlap is old now and spends his time traveling looking for wood. He gave all his stock patterns to a carver in PA. If you send your stock to Dunlap, they will have the carver duplicate the profile for you. I have never used this service, but have purchased a few full length rifle stocks (krags and Springfields) that have always been spot on and good quality. It just takes time to get. good American walnut heartwood is rare these days, and very expensive. But Dunlap is worth the wait. There is material carefully left in the patterns for final fitting. None of the cheap "drop in ready" things that fits like a paper bag.
