Conversion. Flooring to gunstocks. Selected pieces of walnut, carefully cut from large slabs of walnut -- and now known as gunstock butts -- are prepared for a kiln drying operation in a converted hardwood flooring plant. The ends are dipped in a solution of resin and paraffin to prevent checking (splitting slightly) during drying. Louisville, Kentucky
