I always thought the reason you frequently see higher figured wood used on GH guns was because Parker Bros. utilized less costly American Black Walnut for them, whereas in the ascending grades Parker Bros. utilized higher cost European thin shell Walnut for their stock wood. Grade-for-grade American Black Walnut is, by nature, more highly figured than European thin shell Walnut.
