Nice looking piece! What is the handle material?

Thanks Mike, the wood is called Jmbuyen, Brazilian-Walnut. Grows mostly in the moist Araucaria forests of Parana and Santa Catharina in southern Brazil. Hard and heavy, fairly easy to work with, takes a very nice finish.

I'm sure someone will disagree with me, but I think it would be nice to have the back ridged on this piece, especially since you have the wood angled down, away from your thumb. Just my $0.02

Thomas,

You are right, It takes a very nice finish. I wish I had a set of grips for my 1911 that looked that good.

Beauties! Don't forget to bring your carving set, chef's knife and, if you have, bread knife. I'd love to see them. If they don't sell, at least we can feast in style
