Man, those look really nice Sparkie. I like wood panels that have a lot of character. Is that wood really as tough as its name suggests? If it is, I bet it is hard on your equipment. I think a set of grips made from Hedge (Osage Orange) would be pretty neat.

Thank you Hoss! as Olympus said, yes it is very hard and oily.And it does gum up my sanding belts. Right now I am working on checkering a set of Ironwood grips,and man is hard on my tools!
Olympus....it is no problem,I enjoy seeing your work,and anything I can learn from you and other craftsmen on here is appreciated!!
