I picked these blanks up of craigslist today, in hopes of someday building a couple of rifles.
I have a couple of questions, as I'm not really a woodworker...
1. I'm pretty sure one is walnut (the bottom blank), but what is the rest of the wood?
2. One blank has a side-bend to it. It's a fairly thick piece of wood. Could I potentially cut up straight up the middle and not have to worry about the bend? [The bent piece is the 3rd from the bottom, which is also the one I like best!]
The 2nd from the bottom looks bent in the pics, and is curved, but not bent side to side.
Thanks for the input!
