Bought a set, they are awesome.Nice!Yes it does, looks American walnut but could be Euro but got some good black. My property is covered in black walnut. Sold several thou of it. plenty left and many nuts. Not a good nut year this time though. I drive my truck over the hulls, dehusk, pressure wash, dry in the sun 2 weeks. Best ever. Take the nuts, band saw them and make the coolest buttons ever. I have one on my BP possibles bag if I can ever take pics again.
Seen many but mine come out just like this.
Well did committed a serious screw up when drilling and attaching the buttplate. On the back hole the bit wandered too much an the hole is off center but that's not the worst, the worst is when drilling the pilot hole in the butt the drill bit snapped off down inside the pilot hole. Ordered another butt plate and I'll have to re-locate the back hole. Live and learn..........
Do you use a sharp punch and a center drill to start your holes?
They make a world of difference and your drill wont walk. The main reason a drill walks is because of a screwed up starting hole and the flex of the bit.
Get some of these and you'll have a much easier time of it and they're cheap.
Of course a drill press will make it even easier.
