Hey, folks.
I haven't been in the shop for a while, but I slipped out yesterday to play around with some Waterfall Bubinga. A couple years ago, I bought a Smith & Wesson .38 special. It's a 1944 V-series and it came with plastic grips. I got the impression the grips probably weren't from 1944. So here's what I came up with:
I want to find a black bolt. I'm not thrilled with the silver, but that's what I had on hand. Finished with a couple coats of spray lacquer. I want to take it out for a spin before I put a real finish on it. I might want to carve it a little for better grip.
