New Curtis Harlow Grips (MUST SEE)

[CobiaS&W]

I got these 2 new sets of K/L grips from Curt yesterday. As usual his work was Outstanding. The Round Butt are on my 586-4 3" and the Square Butt are on my 19-4 4". Both are Black Walnut. I even got him to sign them. The pictures don't do these grips justice.

That is some fabulous workmanship there! I like the burl wood on the round butt ones, especially. Yes, must see.

What a coincidence! My stocks arrived yesterday also!

Those are gorgeous!

Beautiful wood and workmanship. I especially like the RB set.

Curt Harlow grips

A few of my N frame Walnut grips from Curt! What is hard to see from these pictures is the shape of the grip. They all were made in the "cokes" style of shaping just not checkered. I didn't want to hide the grain of this walnut!

Both pair are stunning and I can't say enough good things about him or his work.

"Wow" just doesn't cover it. Maybe "Wow to the 10th power"?

I almost didn't open this thread, because as an official contrarian, I don't like anyone telling me I "must see" anything. But I'm glad I did, beautiful grips.

The man is an artist. Here is some of his work on my Colt OP King Target, and on my RM.

Curt does a fine job. Here is a sample of his Roper-style stocks on a 27-2 he did for me.

All of the above.

IIRC, Curt used to not do checkering himself. Is he doing it now, or did he send it to someone else to do it, or did you get it done by someone else? I also haven’t ever seen him do the style on your square butt revolver. I know Keith Brown does it. I can’t remember what it is called……something to do with “fish”, I think. I think it turned out AWESOME! I see he still has one of the best woodpiles in the industry!

I had Curt send me pictures of the grips as he was making them.

Reading this thread has been a spiritual experience for me.

A Classic Example Of A Craftsman Who Has Pride In His Work

Mr. Harlow has the skill and ability and excels in his Grip Production profession, his products are extremely well made and very attractive.
He is among only a hand full of true craftsmen who are talented enough to produce such works of art. He has my utmost respect and admiration and I appreciate each of you showing your pride of owning such beautiful Grips (Stocks). Thanks!

I've enjoyed (and benefited from) Curt's fine craftsmanship before. Exceptional restoration work for me. But, I've never had him CREATE anything. I often thought of a set of "K" frame diamond COKES.
Hmmmmm, I still have some quarter-sawn Black Walnut in the barn. Maybe??

 

[CobiaS&W]

I probably have 6 or 7 Curt Harlow / Harlow-Culina grips. I finally noticed the one thing these grips were missing.

The Artist Signature - Which Curt kindly provided.

Curt is a magician with wood, and a fine man to deal with!

 

[Shootgood]

I was very pleased with the grips he did for me

Just realized, I did not include images.

So, a little background. These were sent to me as a gift. I was, and still am, absolutely floored when I opened the box. Curt is know for his big stocks, checkered with ribbons and etc. These are simple, unadorned Magnas, and are on my newest ACP Target Model of 1950.

Considering he did not have my revolver or even a tracing, the fit is excellent.

I am proud to own these. Curt even signed and dated them for me.
