Maybe padauk?

I made some grips and a pump handle for a Sheridan Model H from this very dense hardwood.  Left unfinished, it weathered in to a really nice deep burgundy color.  Beautiful stuff.

so are you trying to match the wood that is there, a picture close up, maybe go with a laminate in a color that you like

they make a 3 x 3 x 10 inch piece

just an idea you have not supplied enough info yet

Mike,  my Thomas is red and has a red laminated grip. I would like to match the grip with a cheek rest and a 6"x3"x1/2" knee plate to fit my Rowan knee riser. Don

Actionwood is laminted birch in colors. The Boyds gun stocks are made from action wood. There is also Dymond wood. Both look the same. Don

Thanks Mike, was getting ready to hit the buy button but they want 18.60 to ship. I may have to pay the price if l can't find something cheaper. Don

I put a piece in my basket and my was $15.47 so it is a little high and I'm in Washington state

I would be happy with $9.99 but sometimes you can't fight there shipping, UPS seems always a little high but if you need something and it is hard to find what choice do you have

in any case good luck and take care

mike
