Fitting a one piece ivory grip to a Uberti cap and ball revolver

I have a Uberti cap and ball revolver that I've been wanting to make a one piece ivory grip for, and today I finally did. This has been on my to do list for a long time! Let me know what you think.

Thank you Ashley, that was the hard part. I should be able to shape them up pretty soon.

You always seem to "fuss" your work into perfection. Can't wait to see the end result. Take care!

Thanks Josey Wales! Cool that you caught this for your namesake carried a brace of these in shoulder holsters in the movie!🤔😁

[@leeburke4060]

wow that's a lot of work.. but worth it. you do great work.

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thank you Lee!

That is a hard job. I remember trying to fit Colt grips on a Ruger Single Six many years ago. The wood on the Ruger has less taper than a Colt. I gave up and got use to the different feel. I should have just made my own. That way it's a fit to your hand.

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thanks for checking it out 57 Willys. I have a Ruger single six also and when I was in Alaska I got some whale bone which I turned into grips. And yeah, I belled them out pretty good.

Did you make your spectacles? Great film thanks for sharing your work, very enjoyable, as always, God bless.

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thank you Lucas, I appreciate that. No, I didn’t make my glasses but l’ve repaired them enough to claim l made them.🥴I think I will be making a replacement soon though.

[@gregorypennell1755]

I’ve made a lot of gunstocks and pistol grips over the years, but I’ve never tried a one piece grip. I have a reproduction 1860 Army Colt that’s a good candidate…maybe bone or stag…🤔

[@brianmcmanus4058]

Where do you get ivory for these types of projects?

[@StockmanOriginal]

Hello Brian, thanks for checking in. I just stumble across it in antique shops or people find out l’m a scrimshander and bring me stuff. You can’t really just go looking for it.
