I've got stag grips but you've all seen them and that gets boring after awhile. What I want to know is what I'm supposed to do with these:

My dogs get elk antlers as chew treats from a local supplier (real shed and harvested natural antlers, not the fabricated/molded "antlers" PetCo. and such sell). I get these at about 10"-14" in length and the dogs chew them down to about 4" stubs before I take them away as they become too small to be safe at that point (I have large dogs). I can usually get 3-4 months out of each pair of antlers before I have to order new ones. Anyway, I was throwing the stubs away at first but then figured I may as well save them in case I wanted to try making my own grips or something like that some day. Anyone have any other ideas?

I see several possible knife handles there. Several other ideas: Screwdriver handles for Cowboy Action shooters. Also, I don't know what they are called but they are used to push cartridges through the loading gate on lever actions. Saves the lovely ladies' fingernails.

Any you don't want, I'll pay shipping.

I've got more but by now you're getting (1) the idea and (2) BORED.

No, not bored!

Only on a faux Smith & Wesson!. Nice gun btw, you should look in to some Grashorns for it.......

Anyone have any other ideas?[/QUOTE]

Knife handles, fan pulls, and for the one in the middle, second from the bottom, saw the butt end of it off and it would make a nice button after you drill holes in the center. If you have access to a lathe, you could do a lot more with them. You could turn them down with a nice taper on each end and make toggle buttons. If I had some, I'd turn them down and use them for handles for "magic wands" - the kids love stuff like that. If the price was right, I wouldn't mind buying a few off of you to have as a wintertime project.

Regards,

Dave

Executioner stags on my 624:

No problem with this revolver's recoil.
Decidedly less pleasant on a model 29, however.

Okay...you asked for it. Starting off with my Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt with Eagle grips.

Here's a pair of Old Model Vaqueros in .45 Colt with Eagle Grips.

A pair of Old Model Vaqueros in .357 magnum with Acme grips.

My Springfield Mil-Spec in .45 acp. Can't remember who made those grips.

My Bond derringer in .38/.357. Can't remember who made these grips either.

I knew you folks would not dissapoint. My "drool meter" is on high alert. Any more?

BTW, db - I like you idea of trying to make a set of grips out of some of your stag. Would only cost you time......well not really. I know you would need some grip hardware, etc.

db ... With some time and a Dremel, those rough stag bits would make beautiful custom chess pieces.

Now that's one I hadn't thought of, good idea.

 

[doublesharp]

Those grips (and gun) look awesome. Any idea on who made them and their age?

The 5" .357 is mid 1950s and the grips are some I picked up somewhere along the way.

The sheepskin lined, rattlesnake skin inlaid holster was made by a local Kentucky craftsman, David Newcomb, a forum favorite who recently passed away.

The revolver stocks I believe are Grashorns, I bought them used and they are unmarked but they look like his work. The Bali Song knife a buddy brought back from the Philippines about 25 years ago. The story he was told there is that the local craftsmen make the blades from salvaged ball bearings that they melt down and reforge. True or not, who knows. The scales look like sambar stag.
