Affected area is above the grip, shallow semi circle, about 12-14mm down and runs back to the top of blank approx same amount and 150mm
Wont go further when shaped for the pistol grip. Detail pic avail.
A MAGNIFICENT blank from any angle and well worth the heartburn that you will give your experienced stocker.

** Story attached to this, which comes with a WARNING about dealing with large US sellers who say they guarantee their blanks but DO NOT. Hence a full length piece of the top of this blank will be included for those wanting a Huey case with tool handles and a knife matching the stock wood.
I'm losing a LOT of $$$ on this blank and despite the 'problem area' believe its a bargain.You'll pay this for an equivalent 2 piece blank and of course this can be used for 2 piece with no problems
Its very hard to find and buy wood like this for any money.
I'd build on it myself but I'm right out of that due to age/health..
Will only send by AusPost Express with tracking signature and full insurance ADD $100
I dont charge for packing.
Is this one going overseas too??...YES.
