Kurac Grips! Post your pics

In the post above, this display was at the NE Ohio bunch on Sept 13. Bob was one of the new attendees and had a nice display of 3" guns. At first I thought he was doin a Kurac grip display. He seems to want to keep Kurac in business. If I have time, I 'll take 2 pics of Kurac's first set that are on my 1917. He actually started out trying to make the 1917 grips, Larry
 
Here's his first set, guess it was hard to make the round part that fits in the frame. Didn't seem to make many sets like this for the N frame guns before he started making the grips as we now know him for. Here is my 1917 wearing the grips, Larry

Those might be the first set of 1917 grips I made but I know they are not the first or second set of grips that I carved up, I still have those.

The first set I ever made was Cocobolo, the second set was Macassar Ebony which is the whole reason why I even tried making a set of grips. All I wanted was a nice set of ebony grips for a 4" 624 that I picked up and now look what happened. Now I make grips every day.
 
686P in Zebrawood, 627PC in Cocobolo, and 686P in Gaboon Ebony

Coming late to the show here John... do you make grips for the little J-frames? I'm looking for a pair of RB smooth combats with finger grooves that are just scaled-down versions of those on the K- and L-frames, not the larger, out-of-proportion ones like the factory offerings.

Everyone who handles these is impressed with the quality,
fit, and finish.


English walnut on engraved 629 , 45 Colt.















Different light shows grain and figuring well, differently.





Good luck,

Dang Allen, that engraved 629 is looking even sweeter.

Thank you, Vette! It was different working with Cocobolo and I'm glad I researched it some beforehand. The finish on these was done with CA glue - basically Super/Krazy glue because the wood contains so much natural oils regular finishes would take forever to completely dry. Also, dust from these woods can also be toxic to skin, eyes and nose/throat. The more you know... :)
 
Just ran across this thread. I sold 2 6 inch skinny, pinned brl. model 10s last night in 1 hour and 13 minutes and now you Goomers come along and cost me all my money by showing these BEAUTIES!!!
