I am thinking about building a Lancaster-style longrifle with a cherry stock this winter. Any suggestions on a source for the wood? I would prefer a stock with the barrel and ramrod already inlet, but a plank would also work if I can get nice grain.

I have read through many of the discussions of stains, dyes, etc. I think I would like a slight red tint that does not obscure the grain.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
 
Thank you, Gents. Both companies look interesting.

From what I have read, I think 1-2 teaspoons of lye in a pint of water followed by blushing with a heat gun, will give me the best color. I am looking for a rich, medium dark color with a bit of red. Does anybody have other recommendations?
