Allen now that you have a wood supplier to choose from (I have used Cecil Fredi several times) I have always had the stockmaker look at the wood to make sure it will fit the project be it rifle or shotgun. you want a straight grain through the wrist for strength. I'd be happy to post some pics for you if you wish.

Thank you Gents, one and all. I was raising the original question in the abstract. I'm keeping my eyes open for another Parker and it will most likely be a 'project gun' as we say on this forum. And I'm trying to learn as much about this stuff as I can. When the time comes that I need a good quality blank I'll be communicating with the folks you've recommended. Right now I'm on a steep learning curve.

Gents, I've been looking at Cecil's selection of wood and for me, it would have to be a grade of Black Walnut or English Walnut if I were to re-stock my next Parker.

I used a fabulous piece of Marble cake English walnut from Cecil for Gunner's Parker.

I just had a new stock made by Brian Dudley using a piece of feather crotch walnut I had in my shop for the past 25+ years. It was the last of 3 pieces from the same tree I bought at a gun show. The first was put on a VH 16, the second on a Churchill 16. Now that I'm out of wood, I think I'll stop buying guns that need stocks. Or, I'll call Ed Gordon in Galena, Ill and see what he has that will appeal.
