Almost full bark, never done that before, moose was totally solid and hard. White took a good shine. Hard to go back to a birds head from a boot so used to the boot. Don't see that much moose being used for grips, don't know why it is very solid and tuff as nails.   Louiethelump Message Board Member Username: Louiethelump Post Number: 2413 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 03:34 pm:        Nice looking grips!   45flint Message Board Member Username: 45flint Post Number: 1243 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 04:05 pm:        smallest and largest.   Chopprs Message Board Member Username: Chopprs Post Number: 5836 Registered: 09-2009 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 04:44 pm:        .....the man carries a $3000 .22 caliber handgun in his pocket.....sanity is debatable!   Coinchop Message Board Member Username: Coinchop Post Number: 2024 Registered: 02-2009 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 05:06 pm:        I have carried $3,000 cash and it won;t even go bang. 45flint..

They need married up to a polished Mini!! lol By the way....Where did you get your escutcheons??   45flint Message Board Member Username: 45flint Post Number: 1245 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2012 - 06:49 pm:        I get my escutcheons from two places these came from http://vintagegungrips.net/es.html There were #37. They are machines brass and really look nice, They are 1/4" hole on the escutcheons. For smaller steel escutcheons I buy them from NAA directly. The have two screw length and I have used both. I could never understand why a some people put a lot of time into making a grip and then put a cheap screw in it. Good escutcheons are worth the money.

That set is a real eye pleaser.   45flint Message Board Member Username: 45flint Post Number: 1246 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - 05:04 am:        I am liking the Elk more and more, though it is not quite as rock hard as the sambar and mastodon. Has a great "feel" and the colors" brown and stark white work well, veining finer than sambar but not as deep. Cheaper and availability is nice as well.
