Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Parker Finishes
The hard finish over light wood is characteristic of the Parker shellac and oil "French Polish" finish. This was the standard ( or in modern terms "default") finish for all grades until production moved to Ilion. Linseed oil or varnish finish was available at the customer's request, but is not often found.
I have cleaned up and refinished several Parker stocks that had little finish remaining on them, but have yet to find any residual stain. Dark streaks are sometimes enhanced with what appears to be India ink.
There are dark Parker stocks around. Some are just grimy; others are the result of age darkening of that particular piece of wood.
Best, Austin
