Foto Friday - Stock Wood

[Joe Bernfeld]

You got two gorgeous ones, Dean. Years ago I owned a 2 bbl 20 ga Repro set with the most eye-poppingly beautiful piece of dark, heavily burled wood I have ever seen. Sold it to buy a Beretta, which I love, but I wish I still had that Parker. They did put some great wood on some of those Reproductions! This pic is of my 28 ga DT/PG/BT/26" Q1,Q2 Repro, which I've since refinished with oil. I'll try to take a pic (the one I have now is too big to post) in order to show just what an incredible improvement refinishing those guns to oil makes.

Here's the wood on my Sporting Clays model, its kind of a "marble cake style" almost too knotty in my opinion.

Some can be very plain. Here's the wood on a double trigger 12 that I sold and wish I hadn't.
