Excellent use of wood and great craftsmanship.

Really nice grips.

Very nice, I use to collect Rugers, I had the Super Blackhawk, in 357Max. I was at a gun show the other day with my kids and almost picked up a Ruger Bearcat. Don’t see many of them around anymore.

You did a great job.

-- Ray

Great job! I had a Ruger Redhawk in .44mag. Had to change the grip with a Pachmayr to save my hand.

Looks great! I work with law enforcement personnel and am sure some would like to have a set as well. email me at fnewtz@gmail.com if you’d like to let me know if you’d be interested.

Note to all: tigger is my oldest grandson’s favorite character which is why I use it as my handle.

These are gorgeous grips. Somehow my crystal ball says there is another one of these in your future for your son.

Have fun and thanks for the post.

I love maple, and you could’nt have found a better use. Beautiful. mike

Very nice job and beautiful grain figure. No good here as hand guns are not allowed in private hands.

wouldn’t have guessed Maple in a hundred years ! Incredible color and figure and the finish is incredible

Absolutely beautiful grain and orientation. I’ve been looking to make a few grips for my guns. I recently made a cherry grip for a Ruger Vaquero. I was hoping it would just come out… It came out quite well! I was surprised. Looking forward to seeing more from u.

Thank you all for the great support! I’ve been a little nervous posting something as controversial as a firearm on the site, but now that I consider it, that was silly. Woodworkers are practical, level headed people to begin with!

Raymond: Bearcats are great—any 3 screw Ruger is sweet!
Stanley: I grieve that such is the situation in many parts of the world. Freedom is good.
TopE5: I wish it was a Blackhawk… one of these days… It’s actually simply a Singe Six convertible in .22. Nobody but me goes through all that trouble for a .22, but I just absolutely love the round!
Dusty56: I truly appreciate your comments. I have decide that too often we stop short on some of our hardwood smoothing—I went past the standard 220 grit up to 600 wet/dry, finished with 4-0 steel wool, then hand-rubbed several coats of tung oil. Just have to make sure you have your steel wool completely out of the pores, or it will rust.
Dave: I’m looking forward to seeing a Ruger Vaquero in my gun cabinet in the future…

-- There's no tool like an old tool...

Beautiful. Besides what woodworker wouldn’t like the look of fine wood against blued steel! I have a Taurus niner that I should regrip.

I’m with Gary on the big bore weaponry. Pachmayrs stop the hand spanking.
