You did a great job!
I don't blame you for wanting to replace that one on the right. It makes my palm itch just seeing it.

Kent, what kind of wood is that? 

- and -

Do you ever make grips for other people's guns??   ;D

p.s. I had to edit my post.  Did you know that if you type a bunch of question marks together, it prints out as ?????????????????  ?

That’s American black walnut with out stain just Tru-oil finish. I did make some grips something like these for Mike Venturino and one of French walnut for his wife many years ago. Some others but I can’t remember names.
Didn’t know about the ? mark thing, pretty high tech stuff.

OK Kent, now that gun goes to Turnbull to have his magic done so the gun will match the grips.

Thanks for all kind words.
I could try to shine it a bit more like this Rodeo that I case colored and blued after making grips for. But it will do for now.
