At 12" in diameter, there may not be enough heart wood for a stock. You need a balnk 10" X 40" that does not contain the heart center of the log. Logs for gun stocks are generally sesaled with wax, cured for 5 years, then quarter-sawn. Although it may not work for gunstocks, it is probably still valuable to a furniture maker.
