I have two in my yard that have been growning for over twenty years. They are just about right for cutting for grips, BUT, and there is always a but, you have to get through the branches and sharp leaves to cut the trunk down.

That explains the high prices.

 

Found a few places out there but the prices are very high indeed.

 

Guess I just stick on my walnut grips.

Hey BMC, if'n you ever have any Holly or other hard wood trees dead on your place and need them taken down, I have a woodworker friend in Seattle who will likely do it for you just for the wood. He sent me a few pieces off a huge maple burl a while back, one of these days I'm gonna make some grips outta that.

+1 on Doc Shapiro. I've seen pictures of his grips and they are magnificent!

About the only hard wood we got is Alder. When that seasons, it is like ironwood.

Subject to cracking though. I do have some vining maple that might be usable.

Getting ready to cut this month so let me know how much you want. It will have

sap in it so it will need to dry before you do anything crazy with it.

BMC, shoot me an email and I'll pass it on to Rick. I get emails from cowboy shooters that show their real names and have trouble remembering which is who.

 

He is a master at resawing and stacking and stickering to dry, so no worries there.

I am wondering if vining maple is any good for grips?
