Five Royal Walnut 2-piece sets just out of the racks after an eleven year rest while air drying and stabilizing. Royal Walnut is a hybrid of Eastern Black Walnut and California Claro Walnut that was used extensively as rootstock in commercial walnut orchards in California during most of the 20th century. Most display the dark background base of their eastern parent while also showing some of the colors that are present in their California parent. A lot of this rootstock that I harvested in 2009 and 2010 from a single orchard in Red Bluff, California also has a broken fiddleback/bees wing fiddleback which looks to me like the shimmer of a fine tapestry material. Therefore, tapestry fiddleback.

Colors, figure, stripe, burl and "tapestry" all appear in this oversized beauty. Priced at $625.00 and discounted for Tsers on Memorial Day to $490.00 including a closely matching forend blank and shipping. Blank R is sold PRF. Thank you S M.

I haven't listed measurements, but all are extra big since I did the cutting and no one ever looked at the measurements anyway. PM me and I'll give you the particulars. Extra matching forend blanks available for those restocking a multiple barrel or multiple gauge set with multiple forends.

First reservation by PM or by email to [email protected] gets to take one or more of these to the Prom. Don't hesitate, because all of these are packed and ready to travel to the Oregon ATA State Shoot next weekend where they will likely find a new home.

Payment by Paypal to [email protected] or by check or money order to me at PO Box 846, Selma, Oregon 97538. Wishing everyone a restful and reflective Memorial Day. Thanks for looking. Mike Mann

Mike, thanks for posting. I’m not in the market for a new stock but I always look at your new postings just for fun. IMHO these are exceptionally beautiful and I would think they will move quickly.

Nitro,

Thanks for the compliment. Starting to bring the Royal Walnuts out of the racks after ten years.

Stable, dry, pretty. Two down three to go.
