Not at all Parker-ish, nor very Repro-ish, but without a doubt one of the most uniquely figured stocks you'll probably ever encounter is this Po' Man's Parker--a 28-ga. DHE 2-bbl. set, 26" Q1/Q2 and 28" M/F, DT, PG, SPL with a set of 28/.410 Chambermates. An old wood miser I know termed it a variation of Quilted Claro. Still pics of this particular piece of wood does not do it justice, only by viewing it in person are you able to appreciate how the figure changes. Top-to-bottom and head-to-toe, the appearance of this stock is constantly changing under varying light conditions and viewing angles--the dark areas change to light and the light areas change to dark, kind of like vertical fiddleback, but with a checkerboard effect instead.
