Beautiful! I've never seen holly with any fiddleback figure in it before.

I just got a block of holly and need to get it cut into a useable size. I have made a few grips using poplar but haven't tried holly yet. It is beautifully patterned wood.

Very well done. I like holly on stainless just as much as on blue.

I think holly is the next best thing to ivory, and a lot cheaper. I have holly on blue and stainless guns.

They look very handsome on that stainless revolver.

Very Nice Work. One of the best looking "sets" that I have seen on a revolver in a long time!

Really nice.

Just enough grain to show that they aren't "ivory" and add a warm glow.

I like 'em.

:)
