Very nice workmanship! 
I have a Blackhawk that I've thinking about putting wood grips on.
Do you use a general pattern that you start out from for the sizing and shaping of the blank grips?
Good job!

Good job! | Thanks, I make the pattern from the grips that came from the gun by tracing the outline on the grip slab and leaving it large enough to final fit by sanding.

Both of those turned out really nice. You've really got me thinking about giving it a try now. How long did it take to sand those down?
