Applying lacquer to the Tamarind and of course it darkens it, unlike straight maple staying white. I will fit the escutcheon screw later.

I'm fitting nice walnut to a Ruger, again.

I applied lacquer to show the grain. Some Sunburst in it.

WGW ,again. I found two unfinished grips at a gunshow for cheap $ .

I thought they looked to fit K frame. (Yup) Did some minor finish work, dug up one screw, applied lacquer. Maybe they slipped out the backdoor at a manufacturer. Edit. I'd like to get trained and able to checker these .

Lucky buy at a gunshow.

A vendor had two unfinished aftermarket grips, sure looked like Herretts. Interior appeared to be for K Smith square butt , guessing. So with a bit of work, going onto a model 15-3. Or my 19, or my 586 . Lucky buy @ $10 the pair .

Getting lacquer applied to the walnut. It might be Claro walnut. I wonder if this wood may look good against stainless.I'll also do it in Birdseye Maple.

Making walnut for an OM Ruger Vaquero.

I'm getting the major shaping done soon. The wood is bookended, but it may not be obvious.​
