Wayne, get with Mr. Brooks, and he will teach you how to make a canoe gun with that stripey piece of wood.

Me too thanks to Wayne! Not as fancy but a nice solid piece of sugar maple with a bit of figure.  And the price was very reasonable.

This one is the one I bought from Troy 5 years ago.yet to get an inspiration for it.

That is a super piece of wood.  It's giving me ideas.

My experience is that all it takes to get a really nice stock blank is money. Usually quite a lot of it.

 That 54 barrel that you just bought will fit into this stick beautifully.

Stoner Creek,

Hey  that IS a lovely hunka wood.   I have a .36 cal Green Mountain barrel w/ a nice small Flintlock action, that I'd like to get a nice piece of maple to fit it!   Think it would be a nice squirrel rifle!!

Can you send me Troy's contact info?

Thanks,

I have been thinking for days on this thread that it's just wrong for so many men to talk so much about another man's wood.   :o
