More gun handles
I whittled out a couple more gun handles last week.
Thought you would like to see them.
Now to load some ammo and go shoot em.

Re: More gun handles
that is some serious whittling, and you mated the colors perfectly.
Re: More gun handles
more to that than whittling!

Very nice!! That is the way that my Blackhawks should have come from the factory. Good work, I am envious of you guys that actually have talent, unlike myself.

Re: More gun handles
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Yes, they are curley Maple.
I have not worked in any man made materials but would like to try some . Linen Micarta comes out almost like Ivory.
Those medalions are available from Ruger and from Vintage Gun Grips online.
Kind of a fun hobby but WAY too time consuming to do for profit. To make minimum wage , I would have to get $150 a pair.
I ordered 4 medallions from Ruger in December and they sent them to me for FREE.
I love Ruger`s service. If you e-mail Ruger`s CEO, you will get a reply and he probably will send you a free hat to boot. Good company to deal with.

Gorgeous work and wood.

Re: More gun handles
That duplicator is doing a great job under your skillful hands. Well done. No reason you couldn't get $150 for those maple grips.

Re: More gun handles
Chuck you stinker! Those look GREAT and I'm jealous!
What really irks me is that you don't live by me so that I could have you "whittle out" a few sets for me too.

Re: More gun handles
olyinaz , What I really like to do is to teach others (hands on) how to do things. Many folks just need a little encouragement to get started. This stuff aint rocket science,and if they come out ugly all that is wasted is a little time and a small piece of wood. High grade wood that will make super pistol grips often can be found for cheap because those pieces are not large enough for other projects.
The maple these are made of was rejected for furniture material due to defects. I have seen pallets and shipping crates with very nice wood in them and they can be had for free.

Re: More gun handles
How bout doing a youtube video. I'd like to make a bigger set of grips for my Security Six.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
