I had him make me these Mexican Bocote panels for my BH. I had him not finish them because I was going to do a little design with a wood burner, but changed my mind when I saw the panels tonight. They look fantastic, imo. I'm not even going to put a finish on them. I really like the feel of the wood.

Looking real good , talk to Jim and ask him about waxing them so they are sealed some what, JMHO

 

[Bountyhunter]

I will probably use some tru oil.

 

[Johngoboom]

True oil will come out pretty glossy unless you finish it off with something like a pumice & oil finish.

Nice grips. I like how they look now, I'd just wax em real good with paste wax and call it a day if it was me. Of course, I don't "rush" into things quite as fast as you do.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Where do I get paste wax? Is it like car wax?

 

[Johngoboom]

No, it's old school wood furniture wax. You can find it at most "good" hardware stores. A tin of it will last you a life time, and cost about $10-$12 bucks.

 

[Bountyhunter]

I'll try it. Thanks.

About 6 coats of Swedish Oil would work too. It's not quick though. Have to put it on, let it dry, and repeat once each day. Protects the wood but doesn't shine. I'm so jealous BH. I like them natural too. I can just feel those grips in my hand. I've got to get just one more gun. I could get lots of different grips and just change off to suit my mood.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Natalie, I'm the same way. I could own tons of them. I like my grip panels to match my shoes. :? :lol: :lol:

 

[Johngoboom]

Oh boy. :roll:

I’m with John, :roll: setting here shaking my head

 

[Natalie]

You guys nevermind. It's harmless and would make us happy. Danny, BH has a gun question or two for you?

 

[Wizard]

Great looking grips, BH....but then, I'm partial....I have 3 sets of grip panels made by Jim in Mexican Bocote.....SP101, GP100, Star 9mm.....

AHHHHH HAAAAAA, very nice indeed.

Several good coats of hand rubbed Simoniz, or Johnson's Paste Wax would be a good option BH, & still give You the wood feel, while protecting them from damage. If You don't protect them somehow, Bocote will get darker & darker as they age, & will also likely pick up a few stains along the way.

 

[Flowerlady]

Even I am impressed.

Be sure your purse matches also! :lol:

 

[Bountyhunter]

Hey we can't all afford more than one purse, buddy!

Thank you, Jim.
