Nice curly ash

[Ezra]

Guys,

I am in the market for a nice blank of curly ash.  But not just any blank of curly ash, no Sir...

The thing is, it needs to be long, really long.  Like 70" long. 
The rifle will be one of Dennis Glazeners North Carolina Gillespies with a .46 caliber 50" Bobby Hoyt barrel.

Any ideas?

Thanks,


Ez

Geez Ezra aren't you afraid that'll make you ash look big?

 Freddie Harrison usually has a good supply of curly ash. Don't know if you have worked with it before, it costs a fair amount more than maple with comparable figure.

 I got a spare piece that is 69 3/4" long, but probably a lot wider than you need for that type of rifle. e mail me if you are interested

You might try Ed Price as well. I bought a really curly piece at the CLA show from him. It was the most consistantly striped piece of ash I ever saw, & I just couldn't leave without it.   I am going to have to quit going to these ML events, I buy too much wood.  It is either quit going or build another building to store it in. Build the building seems like the logical thing to do, right ?

My "ash" is quite large enough, thank you very much Mr. Smartypants...

How would one get in contact with Mr. Price?

Ed Price phone number is : 304-655-7216.

Best to get him in the evenings.

Fred Miller had some ash a few weeks ago.  One piece was real curly, the rest were so-so to plain. I don't know how long the curly one was.  I bought a super piece from Wayne last November to use with a 46" barrel. It's long enough for a 49".  He may have longer.

I got mine from Wayne Dunlop (Enough for a 46" barrel). I know he cuts for Chambers wood and the smoothbore has a 46" barrel so he may have the length. He brings some nice stuff to Dixons as well. I second Freddy Harrison though if you are going for super curl.

Call Freddie,
   I was going through his woodpile a few weeks before X-mas and seem to recall a couple of super curly ash stocks that were about 5-6 ft long.

I may have found what I was looking for...

Ian, you have mail.
