And I’ve seen some previous discussion of this issue here. But I would like to expand the discussion…
From the standpoint both of appearance and functionality (e.g., resilience in use), which wood (maple, fancy maple, extra fancy maple, cherry, walnut, etc.) and stain/finish combinations do you feel are superior for a art-carved full stock contemporary rifle (such as a carved-stock Kibler Colonial or Woodsrunner)?
I know the answer to this question is to a large extent subjective and in the eye of the beholder - but not all of it.
Let’s hear your opinion and see your supporting pics!
