Dont know where to put this as is not a classified for a bow...as it could be for bows or knives really.
I have a 90+ year old walnut stock from an American Enfield rifle...told it was original by my buddy as he has replaced it with full stock.
I was going to save it in case I ever got going really good with selfbows for nock tips and such...but 10 years later and still not really started.
Figure someone might be able to use it for reinforcing limb tips or for scales in knife building...
If interested respond here and can work out something if you got anything to trade....or might just end up giving it away if you pay shipping.
Thoughts....or any interest?
Can you post some pictures? i may be interested. is it English walnut? Got figuring?
Here are a couple..I think it is American Walnut and it has some grain to it but I did not have time to strip off the finish and get down to the raw wood to see for sure.

A friend of mine got all new stock and forearms for his 1917...and gave this to me to use for bow tips or something...and it is just sitting here and would rather someone with some true craftsmanship use it for their next few bows...or for handles on a couple custom knives.
Thanks for the interest...
