Found a chunk of spalted maple that is thick enough to make a pair of Ruger or Colt SAA grips from. Make two panels and use a screw or make a one piece grip either by routing the strap groove or making two panels and gluing them to a spacer. Delivered using first class mail in a bubble pack envelope. Post I'll take it and follow with a PM. Thanks.
Updated with example of what this material will look like finished out. The sanded pair I show are a rough shape of a finished grip and will need further work to look the Ruger/Colt SAA shape. They have not been stained or top coated; they are just sanded. They can be stained yellow, amber, tan, clear or any color you desire and then finished with a top coat of varnish, polyurethane, Tru-oil, linseed oil etc. Or even a paste wax. Your options. The wood is not overly hard and sands and shapes fairly easily. Anyway, what I am trying to show is what the results could be when finishing out a pair of the Spalted Maple blanks that I offer for sale below. Thanks
Items are all sold. Thank you everyone.
Example of the size: (Factory SAA grips are 1/2" thick at the bottom so these are plenty thick. Enough extra wood around the edges to fit any generation or most Rugers.)
