I want to inlay a couple of pieces of walnut in to the butt of a rifle. I need some wood that can be checkered without chipping and assumed that American Walnut would be suitable. I can inlay OK but the wood at home on my scrap pile just will not take checkering. I suppose anything at all that would take checkering would do and it could be stained to match the surrounding area.
I have contacted a walnut supplier which does not do retail. A Stockmaker has not answered my query.
I thought you blokes might know of a source
