Just made my first gun stock from a tree I did a couple of years ago. It was an Elm and seeing how beautiful the figure was in the crotch I thought I'd take the rootball out to see how it was. It's been drying for two years now but don't think it would be stable enough to use for a stock yet. Keen to start another now and was wondering if anybody would be interested in swapping some stable walnut that includes some crotch feather for some big thick Elm root ball slabs. Here are some pics of the center 2 of 4, taken when I slabbed it a few days after removal; http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/2d9c0346.jpg http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/139ddde8.jpg http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/55600a19.jpg http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/954c919f.jpg

Correct! Tell him what he's won bob! Not the easiest wood to work but has a real nice reflective grain that changes shades from different view points. Got the root ball in 4 slabs in the shed. These are 2 of them. Might get around to using them for something one day! http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/139ddde8.jpg

Would love to see a pic. No joke!

Combine the two posts you as good as nailed the main body. Spalted olive ash with the butt section from the crotch of the tree. http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/585d3df8.jpg Here are some pics of the capping. All from the same chunk of crotch. http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/a3a7618b.jpg http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/47f01ed7.jpg

Thanks for the complements. Is my first woodworking attempt. Massive learning curve. Spud, got an adjustable air stripper instead of silencer. Use it for HFT comps. Nobody close on species yet! Give you a massive clue, both native species!

Cut 2 trees down 2 years ago. After seasoning I finally got around to making a stock for my rifle. Cost about £50 as opposed to the £500-£1000 they cost to have one made. Who knows their wood well enough to guess the 2 species? http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/09b39db4.jpg http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/e149ac67.jpg http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/a5e60b69.jpg

Looks like a silk floss. Had the pleasure of doing 2 in Florida. Not nice! This looks like a honey locust. Glad to say I've never climbed one. Had a few nightmares about it though!

25m arbmaster. Been climbing on a few others over the last 2-3 years. So happy to get back on it. Very static for ascending but under shock loading from a sudden stop, it gives somehow turns dynamic and absorbs the shock. Also handles the heat from rapid decents without glazing. That's why I use use armor prus poly.

I hope Tom Hanks isn't getting cast in this one!

Maybe I should spray my spikes! Might stop them disappearing over the weekend!

Here is my heavily tuned 4.6 http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/gilogrt/4e357d9b.jpg

Sweet Ranger! Just need 'Ninja' across the tail gate!
