took awhile to finish. glad I took the time to work the wood. good hard wood from the amazon, I just don't remember the name of the stuff. super hard.

Cool.


Almost looks like teak, but that's from a different continent.

Those cleaned up nice. 

Now, get back to the distillery and do something worthwhile!

Looks cool deepwater, in a weird way,....but as CR stated, you and Juan Moore Beere need to get busy. Summer's coming....folks (like me) get parched.... ::)

If you put a set of Crimson Trace on it,..........your FIRED!!! ;D

the color in the p[ic is much darker than what is on the gun, but they do darken up with oil. so soon enough they should be a dark red/brown. very hard wood and not easy to cut, shape.

friend of mine has 50 acres of teak in Costa Rica. apparently takes a long time to mature though. you can still cut the young trees, but the quality and size is obviously inferior.
