I have some pretty nice rifle and two-piece gunstock blanks for building that special custom gun or upgrading an old favorite. And before you e-mail me to ask, I don't do the stock work. That is up to you, or if you don't have the experience or talent, I would suggest you take it to a good stock maker. Buy a cheaper and plainer piece to practice on before you begin carving a really fine piece. It could save you some tears. Here is what I have in terms of grades and prices. Nearly all of my wood is from northern California. The pictures are meant to be representative of some of the nicer walnut blanks.

If you are interested in acquiring a nice piece of wood, please e-mail me with your name and phone number. If you are in northern California or pass through that area, it may be better for you to contact one of the reputable wood dealers like Jim Turner or Don Cantwell. These are fine people and have a large selection.
