Bill, that's about the same as my recollection too - I think I read somewhere that he bought it for the specific purpose of supplying wood for his Parker Reproduction endeavor.

Bill, thankyou for your tidbit re: Calico Hardwoods.
I suppose the success of Parker Repros ( at least in OUR minds ) is due to the vision of a single person.
If Mr. Skeuse wanted to use top notch wood of varying figure in a single grade of gun then so be it. No committee or board of directors to answer to. What a luxury!

Yes, Mr. Jack Skeuse ranks right up there with Tony Galazan and Steve Lamboy as heroes in the modern US shotgun world.
