Mike, that piece is very very nice. I would need a piece about 32" in length and 7" wide. Of course that center portion would be ideal, I would like to avoid any knots or cracks it kind of looks like the lower live edge side looks pretty good. I would love to get the most figure out of the piece as well! Let me know if you can make something work?
I will measure and get you a price tomorrow, m
PS- I think dark line in lower right corner is a crack. This is a big chunk of wood- probably 2 stocks in bottom.

Woodpro, can you post some pictures?
John - I have one piece of old Reinhart Fajen steam dried Mahogany stock material left if your interested. It doe ant quite meet your posted dimensions. It is 27" long by 3" x 7.25. Its been in my shop for over a decade and I just need to quit trying to convince myself I'm going to do anything with it.

Do you have any pictures of the mahogany? I may take it!
Yep. These are quick cell phone pics and the wood was not even dusted. One flaw on one side that looks to be a cleat mark from a strap ? Nothing more than 1/8 deep.
Wow. Worse pics than I thought. I can retake tomorrow night if you'd like

What are you looking at for a price?

I'm not sure if I can get a stock out of that or not... it may be a little short. Let me ponder it, and I will let you know.
Are you firm on the $70+Shipping?

That's a little rich for me... How much for a gun stock size 31" x 7" x 3"?
I won't cut a 7" slab out of the 12" piece. sorry
Any interest in dymondwood? color - rosewood
Hi John,
Newbie here..:-)
Got a friend who uses wild mango to make gun stock, I did at some point exchange wood with him that's how I got mine.
If you are interested, I can get in touch with him see if he has anything your size he's willing to let go.
Here is my wild mango wood from him:
And here is his gun stock from the wood:

Thats beautiful wood! See what you can find!
Now those are some fancy gunstocks. I love it! I wonder how heavy that wood is? And more importantly, how stable? Gary
