I've noticed that my Vulcan stock is two pieces lengthwise. Is that normal, or has there been a tragic accident?It's very well done.

Tragic accident been put right. Mach 1.5
Has not one but two workbenches in his shed
Falcons definately a one piece thats been repaired in its life, it's probably been dropped on it's Butt or some enterprizing 'Soldier' storming the Castle door of his shed has used it as a Ram.

May have been cut down for a child & then replaced when they got older.
Even better looking than a HW35
Is it slightly different shades of wood, that look like they've been joined?
It could be just one piece but one half would be the outer sap wood, which is normally slightly lighter (in colour) than the inner wood.
