Another Myrtlewood stunner on the for sale block. Fantastic pin burl inside larger sinewy burl with fiddleback and dark (almost black) streaks moving in and out of the surface. Measurements are 20"+ long, 7 3/4" tall at the butt, 3 7/8" tall at the receiver and 2 7/16" thick. Dry and ready to work, this blank comes with a caution sticker. Your stockmaker must be comfortable working with pin burl in the inlet area. Because Myrtle is much denser than most Maples and Black Walnut the pin burls shouldn't (and usually don't) present a structural problem in the inletting area. Some makers simply will not work with any wood with burl figure in the inlet area so please verify their willingness to do so. There is also a surface stress check on the right side rear that is visible in the picture. It is surface only and will mill out in the duplication process. For use on a pump or semi-auto, all of the above caution does not apply. This blank is priced at $425.00 and IS SOLD. It will be shipped with a closely matching forend blank. Shipping to the lower 48 will be paid by White Creek.
