For now, I was planning on using $75 red maple grade 1 blanks, maybe grade 2.
Making a poor boy rifle.
However, besides looks, is there any advantage to using curly maple.
Also, the grain alignment at the wrist, whats good or bad to look for.
As per recommendation on another post, I was going to order from track the wolf, seems the price is right. So, I am ordering on a leap of faith and not hand selecting their wood.
I will be going to a gun builders fair this summer, so I will pick out the pretty boy ohio squirrel gun I plan on building adter the poor boy.
However, the ohio gun will likely be walnut.
