Brian, that is a great piece of walnut for your GH project. I don't think it is over the top and in fact is a tad less dramatic, for lack of a better adjective, than the stock of a 1903 GH I once had with original wood. It should be a nice looking Parker when you're done.
To keep the value of your restocked Parker up where it should be, pay extremely close attention to every detail of the checkering of grade 2 hammerless Parkers of the very same vintage as yours and copy the style exactly. We see so many restocked and recheckered Parkers that exibit very poor adherence to the original checkering style and, in my opinion, this greatly detracts from the gun's value.... greatly.
