Looking for info/value on rifle stock blanks

[Lilhigbee]

I recently acquired this collection of stock blanks and am trying to establish a value/market for them. One piece is marked "Bastogne walnut", one is marked "English". Two are laminated. Others I recognize as walnut but don't know which species, some may be other woods. Some are marked with water content, some are marked from previous sale/shipping. No inletting has been done on any of them. I'm looking for ideas on value or contact information for a potential buyer. I would prefer to sell the whole bunch to someone but if you see a piece you like, let's talk!! Thanks!!

Murray's Gun Stocks might have a clue.
They're way over near Idaho, but have a lot of experience with blanks.
Lay a tape measure below one when taking a picture just for a comparative.

Easy... if I'm buying, dirt cheap at $10 each.


If I'm selling, top dollar at $300 each!

@Ura-Ki (in the past) has been heavy into making gunstocks, perhaps he can provide some insight?

Depending on grade, your looking at around $100 each and up! The Bastone and English will be slightly higher, again, depending on grade!

Do you know if these are wax sealed or have some sort of protective coating on them, that's going to help with value when you find a buyer.

Better, closer photos of each piece will also help determine species and grade, which you need so you can price these reasonably!
