Burl wood was not only heavier but more brittle, while there was no difference in straight and fiddleback. The best cuts came from the center of the log, where the fiddleback might be, and the slab cuts from the edge of the log which were more prone to warping.
The stock on the left is a Keystone replacement stock (has a reflection), the middle stock a Remington 03-A3, and on the right an M1 Rifle stock.
