Any guesses as to what type of wood these are?
Waitin' on the auction to end, hope to have 'em here next week.

Burly Maple would be my guess.

HI,

Should you successfully get the hole(S) drilled for the grips, I think I would soak the interior sides at least 1/4" away from the hole with epoxy ... to stop and little cracks from becoming big ones ...

If for a Colt style, I would make them once piece type with a spacer in the middle.
Just too nice to drill.

Perhaps the photo is deceiving, but are they not one piece with a spacer in the middle ?

Birds Eye Maple I believe...

Appears they have a spacer laminated in between, think I'm gonna leave 'em as-is  ;D
