Grip Materials:
I have many kinds of wood.  In the photo above we can see:
1: Iron wood from Arizona.  This is a very hard wood with a tight grain, that takes a very nice polish.
2: This is Micarta, a synthetic ivory substitute, often used in custom knife slabs.  It has good durability, and takes a good polish.  It is also available in black.
3: Ivory. I can no longer sell guns with Ivory grips.  Micarta or fossilized Mastadon Tusk are good looking substitutes.  
4: This is Cherry with a warm stain. I actually add a touch of red oil paint to my Walnut stain to get this color. 
5: Mother of Pearl makes for beautiful grips or stocks.  Because of it's expense and the extra care it takes to shape these,  there is an extra $25 charge for MOP grips. 
6: Cherry wood with a warm walnut stain.
7: This is African Blackwood. It is almost black, but some color variations can be noticed upon close inspection.  Most people think it is ebony.  It makes excellent grips.  It has a tight grain, is very hard without being brittle like ebony , and because it has a bit of oil in it takes a wonderful polish. 
8:  This is African Ebony.  Jet black and beautiful.  It is however a bit more brittle than the "Blackwood".
9: This is Rosewood.  I have a nice supply of very tight grain rosewood.  It is hard, and takes a great polish.
10: This is fossilized Mastadon Tusk.  Often it is a substitute for Ivory, but it has many good qualities of it's own.  It is hard as a gem, millions of years old, has a nice ivory like grain, and polishes to a glass like finish. 

Still haven't seen what you like,  email me a photo of the wood you want , and I'll let you know if I can match it's grain and color. 

Engraved Grips: A few of my guns, such as the Elgin Cutlas, and Rifle, have cast engraved grips. There is no extra charge for these.

Hand Engraved Grips: Above are some examples of hand engraved frames, and grips. Hand engraving usually adds between $150 and $250 to the cost of the gun.
