Wood Grades

We have 4 grades of walnut, standard Plain which is the least expensive, semi-fancy--has upto 20% fancy figure, fancy has 20% to 40% fancy figure, extra fancy has more than 40% fancy figure. The price range for each grade is determined by the uniformity of the figuring on each side of the stock, For example one side of a stock might have 30% on one side and 10% 0n the other this would be considered a low end semi-fancy stock where as one with Approximately 20% on both sides would be a high end semi-fancy stock, I also go by the clarity and coloring of the figuring also. Know this all sounds fine and dandy and maybe even a little confusing, But what it all boils down to in the final grade is a piece of wood is worth what I think its worth. I think a fancy piece of crotch wood with good grain lines is worth more than a piece of plain wood, but I don't think the fancy stuff is worth a fortune like some other people selling stocks seem to believe. I have never had a complaint about the quality of my products. when someone wants a fancy piece of wood to put on their gun I want them to be proud of it when it is all said and done, so I try to be very fair with the price and usually give them more than they bargain for. The percentage of figuring is determined on the area behind the pistol grip-front of comb location, The stocks are made from blanks picked at random from inventory at the time the order is placed. Know for the prices for a buttstock and forend set or long gun stock semi-finished are as follows.

Semi-fancy and low end fancy sets will have the fancy grain on the buttstock and very little to none on the forend.

Fancy sets will have fancy grain on the butt and a small amount on the forend.

Extra fancy sets will have fancy grain on the butt and forend.
