My "After" photos...

I made the grip cap and rear swivel inlay from ebony. My checkering abilities are passable at best ( I don't have the patience required), so he will have the checkering done by a professional in Virginia.

A walnut blank with this beautiful grain would cost $500-$600+ today. I love it when the first coat of finish is applied, and that wood grain jumps out.
