I need a 2x6 about 36" long. of some pretty hard wood.
i am restoring a 1890 old double barrel belgion shotgun,
and have to make the stock/ forend . what you got in your shed? that you have been holding on to?
I'll call my dad he lives in Florida and was a woodworker for years and gave up the hobby and is selling off his stuff. I can tear a stud out of my house if you want.
I agree, but if he choose a exotic wood it would be a unique firearm unto itself. Either way it won't effect value cause that's taken out when you do restoration of any sort. And if it has special value other than sentimental, leave it original.
