Dennis Grips, which wood?

Post by jdeereman »

So I know this is totally an opinion question, but hey I'm curious as to what others think.

I've taking a liking to the looks of those grips Dennis makes. They look extremely nice. I'm thinking about getting some for my p64 (possible the pa-63 to, we'll see). I think I've decided on the checkered red finish, but there are so many choices of wood. What would do you guys like? What do you think looks best? I'm thinking just the regular walnut, but that padauk looks pretty neat too. So what do you think?

Here's 2 different grips together, top is walnut and bottom is red wattle. I like the walnut look better. Crappy background.

Edit: the walnut stock is finished with a red finish, so it comes out darker than the PA-63 above. Not sure if the wattle is also red.

I chose wenge for my dennis grips. It is a very hard and dark wood. They look really great! The hard wood is very resilient to scratches. It can not be checkered though. I personally do not care for checkering on CCW grips as it grips where it should not!! I will post a photo tomorrow if I have time, otherwise wenge is photographed on marschalgrips website.

Here's the wenge. Sorry this took so long!

BTW, sorry about the small picture size. I am not as techically advanced as the majority of all of you to figure that out! I am pleased however that I was able to post the photo at all!
