[pd1964]

Got a beautiful set of signature grade/exhibition finish stocks in Padauk wood from Culina today. Put them on my 29-2 Nickel for a photo shoot:

Nice combination you've put together. I don't usually care for nickel guns, but that's gorgeous!

 

[brjr51]

Wow, just beautiful.

 

[Iggy]

The work of a real artisan.

 

[LOBO]

Wow! Simply gorgeous!

Yeah, those look great! A big gun needs big grips. He always does really nice work.

Now you just need a matching set in Purpleheart or Lacewood!

Those are stunning.I never even heard of that wood until this post.

Good Lord those are beautiful.

Those are some beautiful stocks man! I have 4 sets of John and Jennifer's myself, in Cocobolo, English Walnut, Kingwood and my newest set is Olive wood on my 629 Classic. John does fantastic work and the shape of his stocks fit me to the T.

Two of my favorite things on grips: that reddish hue and a glossy finish -really sets them off. Many of our members don't seem to care for glossy grips; I very much prefer them. Great job, Mr. and Mrs. Culina!

Andy

Made my wife a jewelry box from padauk. Over time it turned into a beautiful ebony with orange-reddish streaks. Great wood! BTW, your grips look awesome.

Great pics!

Padauk is very porous, so to get that mirror finish it required many coats of finish.

Trying to decide now what I want next. I'm in Canada so some woods are restricted to import.

I'm liking that Olive wood and Ziracote. If anyone has those please post some pics.

 

[muddocktor]

I believe I can help you out with both.

Here is the Olive wood set I got from John and Jennifer a few months ago on my 629 Classic:



And here is my Coonan Classic wearing a set of Ziricote panels on it that I bought from The Finer Grain 4-5 years ago:
