That curly maple goes great with stainless!
I fit a brass frame on my Blackhawk 41 and used cocobolo grips.

Thanks - I'd never even heard of that wood before..........

IMO, it looks a bit like Holly, with the color of aged Ivory - nice !

The maple goes very well with stainless -- better than with blued in my opinion. Nice!

They sure look good, how heavy or dense is that wood? Why is it protected now. Todd/3leg

From what i read the trees have become over harvested.
Id put it on par with osage. But it doesnt fade or darken like osage.
