I think that may be correct. The wood turns redish brown with nice warm color. This is last of the batch of 10 cuts i had. Grips will be cut from the same wood. Looking for new slubs all the time. Anyone got new walnut that is taking up space let me know. I got 3 stumps 2 years back. Of an American walnut and its been drying waiting fir its day. 5 years back someone send me wood that was a marble red and gray, best cut i have ever seen. Was not able to find anything like that ever agein. I think one of the examples posted is that gun.

CNC is wishfull thinking. I got a manual big ass variable speed bridgport and a tallented machinist that came with it :0).

Next plan is to make the 45 luger in a small batch, and then get a CNC for a big run. Will happen some day,if one dears to dream.

Chekering and fitting all done by hand. I do have the chekering head but do not like,to use it it comes handy for the stock and forearm. Grips i cut by hand most of the time.

English walnut i have seen has black stripes in it, and the wood itself of a light brown with a yellow sand like tone.

This wood is darker more reddish color.

Also if you want to start the new thread about evolution of the project in that PM let me know.

We can put it on display for everyone to see ;0)

yes, I have already split off posts by you and a few others, simply to show the progression and eventual firing of the carbine by me. It is in a moderated status so I can add to it, but no one else can see. That said, as you add to this thread, I will add to that one

And you already know I am excited to see it done and a shining example of your work
