I would call those spalted walnut. They are very impressive!

Wow! How can Hogue produce grips like this, yet the grips on the JT guns turn out like they do? Not trying to be inflammatory, just wondering.

Hogue has been in the grip biz for a very long time, and they have skilled people making them who know how to choose fine wood. Btw, that isn't spalted, it's from a crotch.

Hogue does indeed make some fine grips. I have a number of their product. Never disappointed.
These cocobolo specimens are among my favorites.

I think the problems with those resulted from the grip frames not being polished quite enough, not the grips themselves.
