good wood find
« on: April 03, 2009, 08:04:00 PM »
I mentioned a cpl. wks. ago I picked up an 8' plank of curly maple at the Kalamazoo Show, well here it is after cutting it into rifle & pistol blanks! And to think the furniture vendor originally bought it to make a table top with. Two of the rifle blanks will handle 49" brrls. and the other a 44". and two matching pistol blanks. All are slab cut.

Glad to see you rescued that wood from being used as a table top! Should make into some beautiful stocks.
