Beechwood Luger Grips

Great discussion, G.T. Thanks.

From my experience in general woodworking, I can tell you that it is becoming very hard to find good walnut. Common walnut, with lots of unattractive grain showing, is plentiful; but the dark, dense stock is hard to come by. Last year I found a piece which was clear, dark, and dense - 1"x12"x10' -for $50 which I bought in a heartbeat, nothing since then.

I notice that the Nill grips, while providing a great mechanical fit, are made of the more common, unattractive (IMHO) walnut.
