Still have some more fitting to do but here is the progress on some American Holly for my .480 Ruger Bisley.

NICE!!!!!

American Holly has to be my favorite wood for guns. It's such a nice replica for ivory,, at a much lower cost,,, that it has won a place in my stuff. I need to get back to turning out grips for a few guns myself.

What do gripmakers typically put on holly to seal the wood?

I used Tru Oil on all my Holly grips. I still claim to be the first grip maker that used American Holly for grips. After I started using it everybody and his cousin jumped on the band wagon. But when on a blued gun, it really screams out for black hardware.

Pacecars, nice job on fitting those grips. Nice looking gun too. :wink:
