wood for vh grade parker

It depends on if you want it to Look factory original or not. If you want a custom gun, then it doesnt matter.

The amount of original condition to the metal should be a determining factor as well.

American Walnut is very fancy in the higher grades. English Walnut looks very much more elegant, whether in plainer grades or fancier grades. I dug out my VH Pigeon Gun, examined the Dan Rossiter restock. There is no doubt in my mind that the English Walnut, even though it is not exceptionally fancy, it is much more elegant than even fancier American Walnut would be. This is probably the most elegant pigeon gun built since Burt Becker quit building guns. As I recall, the English blank was a gift from our member Tom Tutwiler.
