I apologize if this is posted in the wrong category, but am interested in advice at first, then perhaps will offer it for sale in the ‘Fox Parts’ listings, so here goes:

Still new to the Fox world, and assisting my Dad in his move to assisted living, last night he handed me a rough cut blank for a butt stock. This piece of circassian walnut is about 3-1/2 feet high & maybe 4â€

If you could post pictures of the blank, you could put it on the "Fox parts for sale" section of the forum. Four inches wide would make me a crossover stock. Four inch blanks are hard to find.

Steve,
It is just about impossible to estimate the value of a blank without seeing it. Color, figure, faults and grain layout all come into play when determining the grade or value of a blank. You may have to send the piece to a dealer for evaluation. What you describe should have value, but determining how much is a first person sort of thing.
Cheers,
