That's some pretty wood in those pistols Oliver. Mine seems to have a nice but average grain, just have to wait & see how much it pops.
I looked at a lot of finished pistols & all them have the same simple smooth shaped grips so I decided to sculpt mine to fit my hand for a different look. Got the draw filing done to remove the stupid warnings & such on three of the flats-wasn't as bad as I've had to do in the past as they weren't stamped but laser engraved & came out relatively easy. Got the rough sand cast brass trigger guard cleaned up & polished. Now just a lot of polishing, fitting, sanding & final assembly before I break out the stain & plumb brown bluing.
