I would love to hear what "out of the usual" woods people have had revolver grips made from.
The reason I am asking is because I cut a hawthorn tree down for my dad this weekend and the first thing that struck me about the wood is how dense and heavy is is. My dad who is a retired carpenter was also surprised by this. It appeared very light (almost white) but had some interesting figure and color where the branches came out of the trunk.
I know there are a couple of grip makers who frequent this forum and I would like them to share their thoughts too.
