Show your wood!

Living out the last ten years of his life in French Polynesia, the famous artist Paul Gauguin (1848 – 1903) hunted feral pigs with his Winchester. Norwegian adventurer and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl found the rifle in the 1930's. When a French colonial bureaucrat confiscated the rifle, Heyerdahl removed the walnut buttstock, with its valuable Gauguin wood carving. It is in the collection of the Kon-Tiki museum in Oslo, Norway.

I don't normally go in for wood carving on the buttstocks of guns, but I would make an exception for that one.
