Can I see your Boone trading co. Simulated ivory stocks please

Shoebox1.1 · Aug 29, 2023

I’m thinking of getting some N frame conversion ivories for my N frame and the Boone stocks look like the ones I want. I would perfer culina Holly’s but don’t want to spend that much at this time. If I could please see your Boone simulated ivory’s or any ivories you got for that matter

. Here’s the boones I’m looking at

I don't have any but I've looked at these over the years and wondered about their quality, assuming that they are quite nice for a synthetic grip.

This knife came from Boone Trading Company. Very nice mammoth ivory.

My whole purpose in buying the knife was to get it scrimshawed in order to replace similar items lost in my 2018 fire. For the OP's purposes, they have some great items. None of it is elephant ivory.

Thanks.

I had to do a little research to find a scrimshander but I found a great one.

Well I got the conversion stocks and they are very nice for the little money they ask for them. Very happy!

Little less tacticool, more carry cool

Boone makes more than one flavor of faux ivory.
One is "simulated ivory" basically white polymer.
The other is "American Ivory" which is the same product as Resin+S from guitarparts.
1911 Simulated Ivory Pistol Grips

Resin-Ivory™ Finished 1911 Grips

The "S" indicates Schreger lines which is the "grain" seen in real tusk.

That’s cool never seen that stuff. I wanted culina Holly stocks but they’re like 300 smackers and 2 month wait, couldn’t do it

Texas grips will make you a lovely set out of Holly.

Curtis Harlow makes some really nice grips too. Not sure he offers Holly but he may use it if you provide it. There will be a waiting period and they aren’t cheap but they are super nice

I know he had some holly on hand a while back, not sure if he still does. He lives in a town with a very nice wood store. I have looked at their wood online, saw the exact piece I wanted, purchased it, and he picked it up and made me some of his wonderful grips. He is also a fine gentleman to do business with and a friend of mine. You wouldn't be disappointed if you choose to do business with him.

Here's my Colt Gold Cup with Boone's faux ivory grips...I'm very pleased with the look...

Another option for your consideration is smooth elk. Several examples for your consideration.

As you can see, the elk mellows and yellows with age and use.

The Boone grips I ordered a while back (N-Frame Magna) appeared to be simply rebranded Altamont's, so I returned them.

However, their American Ivory 1911 stocks are outstanding .... better than the Guitar Parts Resin-S offerings IMO.

I've not been able to find any decent looking/fitting faux ivory stocks for S&W wheelguns and I've spent a lot of time looking. I did snag this set (pic below) of magna style stocks from the classified and they're VERY well made of some very dense and heavy material but they're not marked.

American Holly from Culina is the way to go these days, but as noted, the wait is long ..... 16 months in my case.

That looks amazing. Strawhat’s as well. Never would have thought I’d like ivories, I’m a fan now

Can I see your Boone trading co. Simulated ivory stocks please
