Nice lookin' guns, Bob, you've got good taste in revolvers! And the grips are first rate, pretty as pictures...and while I do love walnut with a good grain or burl, I've seen some other woods that make up into a nice pair of grips...the ones below, gracing a NV in .45 Colt, I made up out of piece of crab apple from a friends wood pile. Love that flame grain...The others were cut from scraps laying about my woodshop....Best Regards, Rod
