And thus.........Larry Potterfield ended/dismembered the long gunstock history here In Missouri.
All the old buildings still stand, different businesses occupying them.

I prefer the claro or Bastonge, myself, but often get plain old American walnut. Much less expensive. I seem to sneeze a lot when working with any kind of walnut, but do like the smell.

I prefer the black or American.
Black has it's places though. Too dark for a lot of things.....furniture.
