I'd want to know a bit about the FINISH on those, and just how "weatherproof" they are, because I'd be drooling all over them every time I looked at that gun.
I don't get too cranked up about pretty grips, but those are exceptional.

Ironwood is extremely weather resistant, even without a finish, it will polish to a high luster, all I do is use a finishing wax, it will not accept any type of oil finish

No reason not to send the grip frame. He turns it around very quickly and doesn't charge extra to fit if I recall correctly.

Ironwood is extremely weather resistant, even without a finish, it will polish to a high luster, all I do is use a finishing wax, it will not accept any type of oil finish A dear friend/accomplished knife-maker gave me a knife he made several years ago with desert ironwood scales.
It's an incredible knife, functionally and is very special because it was a gift, but those scales are the best looking and best feeling I've ever had on a knife. The scales have darkened with age and use, but in the right light, you still see the grain once in a while and it's still beautiful wood. I'd love to haft my favorite SA with that wood.
