This is one of my one off Marlins built by Marlin (note the yardstick) anyway in the spirit of the comment---had a friend there on the Leadership Team. I sent this blank to make this straight grip short tube 308 Marlin. Only one that exists. My guess is no one will be able to guess the stock wood type. Hint---nothing tougher!!!!!!!

WoW. .44mag or .45-70?
I’d venture to say Bastogne or English Walnut.

Ahhhhh understand your thinking as there is a lot of blonde. This makes the two wood varieties seem like pine in the toughness department. Hint----It only grows in a few states in the ugliest of conditions imaginable and is tough to find a tree that will yield a blank. It is a nightmare to cure with only about 60%-70% of the blanks not twisting during curing. When it is cured it is among the most dimensionally stable woods that exists.

Maybe a variety of Rosewood then, but I’ve never seen lines that straight and pronounced.Ahhhhh understand your thinking as there is a lot of blonde.

Screwbean Mesquite...........
I would believe mesquite for the color but the size of the tree/bush that that thing came from had to be an ideal specimen.

Yes not just Mesquite but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopis_pubescensI would believe mesquite for the color but the size of the tree/bush that that thing came from had to be an ideal specimen.
Gordon is the only person I know of who goes to the trouble to cut this anymore. He may not currently. I have 3 blanks I have been saving for special projects.

That is a pretty blank---for a big bore like that need to have your smith make sure the wrist is strong enough. When that blank was laid out this should have been addressed.
Here is a example of what it should like like with the way the grain flows through the wrist. This one has been partially inletted for a project. Put some water on it so the grain would show up better. This is Turkish.
The last on is on a build but this was a inprocess pic and the rifle is at the back of one of the safes in a silicone cloth sock --- pita to dig it out.

I love the gibbs. When I had my 416 Rigby built it was that or 416 and I already had a 500NE double
