I certainly do covet that bottom gun. What kind of walnut is that?

I'm sure Don will reply in a few days, he's in Argentina at the moment. And I'm not with him I'm sad to say.....

Robert- although sold to me as a rough blank of crotch figured Juglans nigra (eastern black walnut) once the blank was cut to the stock pattern I believe it to be "western black walnut" or wild grown Juglans hindsii. A bit too fancy of a G grade waterfowler but eye catching to say the least. The top stock on the D grade steel barreled gun is Juglans regia or English walnut from California in this case.
