Straight Grain Parker:

[David Noble]

The only Parker I have that's anywhere near that straight grained is a Trojan, but the grain doesn't have the contrast between the layers that your DH has. That is a beautiful gun you have there! Let me know if you ever decide to sell it.

[Bill Murphy]

Straight grain, black striped wood is very characteristic of Juglans Regia, no matter how many fancy Juglans Regia stocks you see on the net.

[James L. Martin]

Here's my restocked 34" VH. The wood used was a 50+ year old blank of french walnut from long gone gun shop of Roy Vail.
