Have been paying more attention to my S&W accumulation of late and after whining about how long it takes to make a set of grips... These are for my bulged barreled Beakert .22 Target transformed into an Early-Pre-Kit Gun, with the Single Shot in the background because it has the same rare First Model .32 hand Ejector frame (ya aint hip if you aint got the lingo!)
The English walnut has been book matched, slabbed and milled for the frame recess. These are not slab grips, they overlap and mate on the bottom, another degree of difficulty. (Note walnut holding fixture, it works both in an out of vise.
I post more when further down the road. BTW: I started this project about a decade ago with chopping the brl and welding the sight base back on at 3 1/2".)
