“Crotch grain” is cut from the crotch of a walnut (or any species) where the trunk and a large limb meet. The tree develops this special grain for strength where the stress of the weight of the limb would otherwise be a weak point.

It very well could be Claro. I simply thought it appears more like American Black walnut because of it being, IMO, a little darker and a little redder than what is typically seen with Claro examples. Admittedly, it's difficult to identfy the species because they can be so similar in appearance. It is a beautiful piece of wood that anyone would be proud to own. It would be a treat to see the other side as well.

Not accounting for taste, I don’t know how you can have a more beautiful piece of wood on any gun. Some of the wood on repros I’ve seen would be suitable for any gun, anywhere, anytime. IMHO.

More of the same on the other side. This repro also has a proper mullered border, oiled finish, and bone charcoal colors. Someone put some work into it. Might be worth mentioning it is a D grade.

It started life as an NSFL 2 barrel set, I still have both sets.
