I was playing lumberjack over the weekend and took some slabs out of a sugar maple tree I took down a couple of years ago. I was thinking that the ideal grain for rifles makes a significant turn at the wrist to follow the comb, right? So, following that logic, ideally it would make the same turn for a pistol, which, is more than 90 degrees. The only place it does this is where major limbs come out of the trunk And, of course, the lumberjacks harvesting trees don't do that. They want maximum yields from a tree, not pistol blanks. So, have any of you guys playing lumberjack ever tried to cut your pistol blanks this way? It sure was a LOT of work for a $20-$40 pistol blank though!
