I wish I could say that I've seen a well carved stock like this, but I haven't. Or maybe I should say, I haven't seen one that I personally liked at all, though maybe they were all "well executed". I do like folk art on firearms, but it is so rare to find something interesting and this not one of them.

On the other side of the stock what's the deal with the squared off side panel back by the bolt shroud and safety. That looks equally out of place, as if they stocker just didn't know what to do there. Yet on the other side, he had no problem blending it underneath the bolt handle. Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong but it looks really odd to me.
