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.

The engraver isn’t one of the “usual suspects” but We have seen his work before. His name doesn’t come to me at the moment but it should come to me after I put some thought and research into it.

No feather crotch in that stock at all. That is known as Curl. The grain layout on this one is perfect. In all regards.

Brian why is this grain layout so "perfect" ? It appears to me that there is substantial vertical grain continuing the entire length of the stock for the most part and through the critical wrist area. I would think that would not be the most desirable grain layout. What am I missing, educate please ???
