My New Grips

Here are three photos of the various stages of my new grips (and new/old revolver -- it's getting a make-over). The third photo is the finished product (by Jack Huntington).

Nice bit of English walnut there. Another coat or two of varnish would make that fiddle back even more prominent

I had Jack make new grips for my FA. Made them out of coco bolo or whatever they call it!

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

Actually, they are quite done. The photo doesn't do them justice in the least.

Very Pretty Wood! And looks like it grew there. Thats the way grips should fit. Did you rework the revolver too? If so we need pics of both.

God Bless, Louis

Gun's not done yet. It's about ten days out. It's a Ruger Maximum that has been converted to .500 Maximum with a Bisley grip frame. As soon as it is done, I will post up photos.

Nice wood, great wood work! Those Bisley grips sure show off the way the grain flows.
