Lol! I can't tell you how many times I zoomed in on each piece of wood in those pics, imagining the grains in the different sections, canted left, right, up, down and how they would look. This coming from a guy who can't afford new grips right now. 😔Originally Posted by dao

Those are yours in the picture. I'm awaiting further instructions via PM on how you want to proceed. I put some oil on for grins and it helped immensely.
As Bird mentioned, when I could go in person to a good wood store, there might be a 6' piece of beautiful wood but with one little spot smack in the middle with phenomenal grain pattern. Have to buy the whole piece just for that little section.
Sometimes the grain don't stay the same once you cut it too.

Do you think CHECKERING would spiff up these grips? I might try some bluing on the gun too....Notice I wear my glove so as not to tarnish the finish.

Looks like they were already checkered, perhaps I could just touch them up a bit without ruining the patina? You plan to use Birchwoods Casey Bluing or maybe Vans?

That was actually a new gun. That somebody tried a new coca-cola refinishing technique on
Colonel I really really like the grain in those grips!

Another officer set fresh off the bench. Really pleased with the wood and the skip line checkering. Just a tad thick but hoping I get used to it, if not I'll go thinner.
