Need someone to make some grips

[LONGTOM]

Is there any member here on GBO that is really good at making grips for Ruger SAs?
I have some really nice wood I would like to have made in to grips for a few of my Ruger SAs.
Some will be standard blackhawks and a couple are bisleys.
The wood I want to use is some book matched Hawaiian Curly Koa with outstanding color and figure.
This wood is somewhat hard to come by and as such, most of what I have is just barely large enough to make grips from.
Below is a few pics of some of it.
Use your imagination as to where and which direction the grips would be cut and see in your mind what a set would look like.
These are my top pieces, I have a few more.
I would be willing to trade a set or two of my extra wood in exchange for the work + maybe a little cash.
Let me know, both, if there is anyone making grips and what you think of the wood.
 
 
Thanks

longtom, what are the sizes of the wood? Looks like 2x10x?. I see some absolutely beautiful contender forearms. Try David D. on the contender forum.  Pat

In order going down.
7 x 2 x 3/8"
7 x 1-7/16 x 3/8"
12 x 2 x 3/8"
9 x 2 x 3/8"
8-1/2 x 2 x 7/16"
7-1/2 x 2-1/4 x 3/8"
Thinking of maybe backing these with either themselves or maybe some contrasting wood like dark Walnut or Ebony or Dark Cherry to make them thicker.
 
I have some that is thicker comming but they aren't quite as nice as these.
We'll see what we have after it all arrives.
This stuff is so rare in the above grade that they just won't cut it any thicker.

I got my grips from Private Schultz...He might do custom as well...
 
Google him and he will come up...

Google CLC grips...Carey has made several pairs for me, some from my own wood. Beautiful work by this craftsman.

I have a couple of sets done by him and yes they are top grade work for sure.
I haven't checked with him yet but he is on the list.
