IMHO, I think it's important that the wood match the gun. I don't want to see highly figured wood on an old plain jane field grade gun. It would be like putting Eva Longoria's beautiful face on Rosie O'Donnell's body. What a waste! Sorry if I made anyone sick with that comparison. I was only trying to use an extreme example to make my point.

I've had these pics posted before, but here they are again as an example of wood matching the gun, again IMHO.
