Can we start a handgun and long gun picture threads?

[Bill.68]

That would a great candidate for a first attempt. So much easier for a SA type gun. DA's are a bit more complex, and the frame to grip fit is everything to me.

Nice work Bill. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Mark I've thought about trying to make a set for my Heritage with the birdshead grip.
The back side is smooth so may be a good one for me to practice on.

Give it a try! I think I'll research it a bit. Would be a good winter project.

[Bill.68]

Vaquero, if I can answer any questions for you Ill sure help. I may not have the answer but Ill have a good lie.
Seriously, SA grips should be well within your skills. All it takes is a bit of patience and desire. Buy yourself a nice piece of walnut, its really easy to work and takes just about any finish great. I have grip screw escutcheons I can send you, nice brass escutcheons look fantastic against walnut.

[Vaquero]

Thanks Bill, I appreciate that.
Work slows during the cooler months great for little projects, and/or adventures.
I'm going to strip and refinish the Rossi 45 colt soon also as the other came out quite nice I think.

Hatchdog, which ones? The Koa or the macassar ebony? Its funny, the set on the redhawk and the set on the two-tone DW Silverback are actually from the same piece of wood, just a different type of finish.

BigAl52, agree 100%, I couldnt have it any other way.

Markiver, thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated.

I actually have a few other sets going right now. Jist need time to finish them.

The DW Silverback. I really like the vertical stripping in the wood.

[Travlin]

Vaquaro, check for a pm re wood for grips.

[DsGrouse]

I made the grips. Somewhat of a hobby of mine. I made these as well.

I love those grips. Thank you. Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy these last few days.

Golden Boy .22 lr and Ruger MkIII

[Ratchet]

Well, that pic didn’t come out very good.

[Vaquero]

Yep, sometimes when one is resized it screws up.
I've had it had on here a few times and yes it is aggravating to say the least.
Couple of nice firearms any way. Thanks for sharing.

We can still see the beauty in that pair!

Just what I shot yesterday, but it applies to this thread.

[Vaquero]

Good morning, while some were watching the "game", I got these to out for a little fun. Not sure if I've showed of the New Vaquero that I picked up last Nov. I really haven't shot it much and only put 12 more through it yesterday. It started raining so most of the shooting was with the Rossi.

Well done azdover, nice differences between the two “dark” guns and the two “shiny” guns.
