American Black Walnut

Very popular with U.S. production gunmakers, American Black Walnut is the most prevalent stock wood on war-time and military arms from WWI to the present.

From Gunstock Woods And Other Fine Timbers – Virgil Davis

“The term is used to differentiate from California walnut varieties, with American Black Walnut growing east of the Rockies. The overwhelming choice by today’s American shooters for their gunstocks, even the lower grades make sturdy useable stocks that perform the purpose; cost does not necessarily make a better stock-it just adds to the beauty and value of the gun. Strong and stiff, with good shock resisting capability.”

“Pigmentation is notably reddish cast with sharp contrasts of color running from yellow through ocher to tan and purplish-black is solids or streaks throughout the figure. For sheer vibrance and depth of color and figure, no other wood can match Claro.”

Bastogne

Bastogne is a cross between Claro Walnut and English Walnut

From Gunstock Woods And Other Fine Timbers – Virgil Davis

“. . .a hybrid, the result of natural cross-pollination between the English and Claro Walnuts. . . nicknamed ‘Paradox’ walnut, but Bastogne is the most common name used by today’s stockmakers. The resultant tree is like neither parent. . . heavier, denser and stronger than either parent. . . especially suited for the magnum type rifles with heavy recoil. . . most likely the finest gunstock wood in the world available to the custom gunsmith and certainly the scarcest; it is satisfactory for use on the most elegant custom guns.”

Turkish Walnut

Turkish walnut is a walnut variety grown in the harsh climate of Turkey. Known for its hardness, it takes fine checkering well. Unique minerals in the rocky, mountainous soils create the beautiful defined charcoal streaks on a light background that are typical. Traditionally the premier choice for hard recoiling or safari-style rifles, and preferred by London’s finest gun companies for a century or so.

From Gunstock Woods And Other Fine Timbers – Virgil Davis

“The parent of all European Walnuts, one of the finest and strongest gunstock woods. It is without question the King of all stock woods.”
