This is what 200+ gunstocks look like. Big black walnut I toppedvand felled today. Everywhere the tree has a crotch is where the swirled walnut exhibition grade stocks come from.

This tree scared the shit out of me today.
Walnut trees are very prone to split and jump back on the cutter if they aren't cut perfect. Its no big deal on the ground but at 60' high when you are harnessed off to it you are fucked if you slip up.

I hope it makes some fine rifle stocks and furniture.
This one log is probably worth more than my services the past two days.

I bet that would make some purdy guitars!

I didnt even know they made guitars out of walnut. I bet thats a high paying specialty market for select timber!

As far as valuable timber goes white oak, black walnut, and cherry are the top around here. Specialty markets are just that and if you dont have the right market you get screwed. I sold probably $100,000 dollars of white oak stave logs for about 10 grand before we found the real market, barrel staves.

Brazilian rosewood has been considered to be the best wood for back and sides of acoustic guitars, however it has been outlawed for some reason. It has been suggested that black wanut is the next best thing, to get the same sone as the b rosewood

No.
A company I used to work for (and greatly loved) had it in their path and had to remove it but couldn't because there was too many expensive breakable things around it. So they called the crazy guy...

They will sell it and pay me my standard per hour rate + expenses.
They had six trees for me to take down from the top down, and said I will be back a few more times as the project progresses. Good news for a guy like me this time of year.

Last winter was absolutely the slowest winter I have ever seen for tree removal.

Is that the usual you don't keep the wood?

Most wood is valueless.
I cut a lot of trees in suburban upper middle class neighborhoods. Those neighbohoods are cookie cutter houses and druveways and yards... Even the trees were all planted at the same time and the breeds were planted for the specific puropose of producing shade quicly. Usually these trees are soft maple or elm trees.

Both are weak and snap in the wund easy so every time we get wind I get a lot of business.

The wood of soft maple and elm is essentially worthless even for firewood. I get to "keep" the wood usually which means I have to pay for its disposal.

I figure disposal into each bid.

The Texas shooter should have been in prison. If the federal government had enforced the laws and regulations already on the books, he would be sitting in jail. Clearly, government can’t protect individual citizens.

Speaking of walnut, I like the look of the walnut CZ uses. Mrs. AG has gotten frustrated with the rampant squirrel population that keeps raping the bird feeders. She doesn't care for the feel of a 10/22; the length of pull isn't right for her. However, she shot a CZ 455 and it suited her well. She may be getting the CZ 455 American combo for Christmas. It comes with 2 barrels so you can swap between .17 HMR and .22LR.
Defo not a big bore caliber, but would be perfect for her.
Recently fired a CZ 550 with the fancy grade walnut stock in .416 Rigby. Beautiful firearm, but not really practical for my purposes. LOL, also even though I reload, it would get expensive to feed that beast.

Police launch two-week weapons surrender in England and Wales

People in England and Wales have two weeks to hand in guns, other weapons and ammunition to police stations without being punished for possession.

The National Ballistics Intelligence Service (Nabis), which is co-ordinating the surrender, says many firearms are held in ignorance of their illegality.

Anyone handing in weapons will not automatically be charged, but will be if they are later connected to a crime.

Police say the surrender is aimed at the "full spectrum" of society.

Helen McMillan, National Police Chiefs' Council firearms lead, said: "You don't have to give your name or address, we just want more guns out of harm's way."




Reality Check: Is crime up or down?

BB-guns, air weapons, rifles, shotguns or pistols are among the weapons police say should be handed in by the 26 November cut-off.

Police think some people come across weapons when clearing the houses of relatives and may not know what to do with them.

'Save a life'

Ms McMillan said: "It could be a trophy of war, it could be a starting pistol - please contact us on 101 and arrange to hand it in to your nearest police station."

She added: "Each firearm we retrieve has the potential to save a life so do the right thing and surrender your weapon."

After the last gun surrender in England and Wales in 2014, more than 6,000 weapons were handed in.

Detective Chief Superintendent Jo Chilton, head of Nabis, said: "Surrendering unwanted or illegal firearms avoids the risk of them becoming involved in crime."

Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that crime involving firearms in England and Wales increased by 27% in the year to June 2017.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41964031

Four killed in northern California shooting rampage

Four people are dead after a gunman opened fire in northern California at several locations, including an elementary school, police have said.

The shooting began at a home in the rural community of Rancho Tehama, about 120 miles (195km) from Sacramento, on Tuesday morning.

Police say the gunman was shot dead by police after four people were killed and 10 others injured in the rampage.

Officials believe the shootings started as a "domestic violence incident".

Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told the Associated Press news agency that the gunman tried to enter the Rancho Tehama Elementary School with the intention to shoot more children, but was stopped once staff initiated a lockdown.




School officials heard shots being fired and immediately locked the school down, Mr Johnston said. He added that the decision saved children's lives.

"The shooter literally took his vehicle and rammed their fence and gate, entered the grounds on foot with a semiautomatic rifle," Mr Johnston told US media.

A motive is still unclear, but police said the assailant had been involved in a domestic violence incident a day earlier.

The gunman, who has yet to be identified, appeared to be "randomly picking targets", Mr Johnston told the Los Angeles Times newspaper.

A student at the elementary school was shot and another child was hit in a truck along a road, Mr Johnston said. A woman driving the truck was also struck and all three were being treated for injuries, he said.

One of the four victims was a neighbour the gunman was accused of assaulting in January, the AP reported.

Mr Johnston said the neighbour, a woman, had a restraining order against the gunman.

A semi-automatic rifle and two handguns were recovered from one of the crime scenes, police said.

The Redding Record Searchlight newspaper spoke to a man who said he was a neighbour of the unidentified gunman.

Brian Flint said his neighbour "has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines".

"We made it aware [to police] that this guy is crazy and he's been threatening us," he told the newspaper.

California Governor Jerry Brown issued a statement saying he and his wife were "saddened to hear about today's violence in Tehama County.

"We offer our condolences to the families who lost loved ones and unite with all Californians in grief."
