Great piece of wood, the darker grain really complements the stainless barrel, they do very nice engraving, and the skeleton butt plate just adds to it. Clay had a Jackson Squirrel done up for me a while ago with the New Zealand walnut (showed pix on this site) high gloss blueing etc. You can not get a custom butt plate on a JSR, so the next will have to be a custom classic with a full load, maybe even a western classic,Cooper turns out an extremely fine product, your rifle is something to be proud of.
