Hi Richard.
No, actually, Fernando's response was pretty much what I was looking for. The term "European" walnut can be a bit confusing/misleading due to the many sub-headings under this catagory.
The reason I asked is I'm having an early 18th Century Spanish "style" rifle built for shooting and wanted to use an appropriate wood for the stock. I was pretty sure it would be walnut. But didn't want to use something like American Black walnut, which is a bit different.
So the European/English walnut would seem to work in this case. Thanks for your input.
Rick.
