Eric,

1. Juglans regia is Regal Walnut. Walnut of one type or another is the favorite of stock builders, the world over. It is hard, durable, beautiful and at the same time reasonably easy to work with.


2. Fagus sylvatica is Beech. You see it on Luger grips and stocks. It is the lighter colored wood. Not so highly favored but a good choice. Strong, dense not so pretty but durable.

Both woods are widely available in Germany and other Central European Countries and Britain. As well, of course, in the good old USA.
