Not wood that is one a gun, but someday will be.
Last week I had the opportunity to buy 42 high quality stock blanks from the estate of a since passed gunsmith that was a friend of a friend of my family. He passed 5 years ago and was a life long practicing general gunsmith. Primarily working on and building custom rifles.
In the lot was Circassian (english, turkish, french), Bastogne, Claro and American. All of it is very old. He had everything dated, not sure if they were cut dates or purchase dates, but the oldest date is 1959 and the newest is 1973!
Now I just need to find room to store it all. On top of the nearly 150 blanks that I already had on hand.
As an aside... there was about 20 blanks of very nice Myrtle that I left behind since I do not work with it, so if anyone may know an interested party... let me know.
