I'm a a single action fan. Below is my eleventh one. The fit on the grips was the worst I've ever seen, so when I got it I knew I'd have to make new ones. These are made of bocote.

Thanks. Yes I made them. I did a lot of research online and a few guys on the forums offered literature and suggestions. It is a tough job. It takes me half a day, not counting finishing.

Love the wood grain and the fit looks very good. I need try making some grips. Give me something to do. They might end up to be small strange shaped ashtrays though.
I am looking for grips for my Taurus 92 and the S&W 627. I like the gray with black designs and think it would look good on the blasted stainless S&W.

On the Cook Woods website, they say it comes from southern Mexico. I bought it at my local Woodcraft.
When I applied TruOil, it would not dry. After a day I soaked it in acetone for an hour and reapplied, then it would dry. Full of natural oils I guess.

Thanks. Yes, I have medallions but haven't attempted that yet. On a future project perhaps.

Here's an (most likely dumb) idea. If you use that wood again, heat the grips a little to bring some oil to the surface, than 'rub vigorously' to make it stay there. Not at all sure that makes any sense.

Excellent job...
Here are the only wood grips I ever made...Zebra Wood installed on a S&W Model 659...
My wood working friend had all the tools in his workshop...I bought the blanks at a flea market...and he guided me through the process..
...a lot of work, and a lot of pride in the finished product:

Very nice. I considered zebra wood. I'll have to get some for a future project.

I thanks for the Sites but they are not interested .
The problem is I have a Magnum Research BFR Revolver .
No one will make grips for this Revolver (I have ask)
Magnum Research dose not have anything to sell or interested in helping the customer find anything .
The BFR comes with big rubber grips that fit NO ONE .
