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.
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:
