Who is a good source for stump cut curly maple pistol stock blanks?
« on: November 10, 2009, 01:11:12 AM »
I need three high quality curlymaple stockblanks for pistols with a 15"swamped barrels. What would good stump curlymaple blanks cost? I'd like the grain to follow the curve of the stocks. Who should I contact? I was thinking of Freddy Harrison.
Does he have an e-mail adress? I won't need the blanks before next fall.

Best regards

I too would recommend Fred Harrison.  I have been using him since the mid 70's and have had good products from Fred.  He has a web page, but I would call him using the number previously given.

I went by Freddy Harrisons place a couple of weeks ago and I looked and some very nice pistol blanks that I think are what you are looking for. I would give him a call.

Freddie typically has pistol blanks that you can use to cut a pair from.  His blanks tend to be laid out with the curve of the grain following the grip, an important consideration.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll try to contact Freddie Harrison.

PeterB, could you email me pictures of your blanks and their dimensions?

Best regards

Rolf,
I still have those old growth maple blanks with the holographic curl that you inquired about a year or two ago.
