Finished up these Bisley stocks today from a nice piece of Birdseye Maple, I think the guys down in New Mexico will like these a lot when we get together next week.   Here it is tucked away in my Barranti crossdraw rig. The stocks really look nice on the blued Bisley 44.  Dick

Nice work, Dick! The birdseye is a nice contrast against the blued finish...

Very nice, I had to give up my grip making due to lack of time but those are some real pretty ones.

Wow, those really look good against the blued gun.
Every time I see one of those 44sp Bisley pics it jumps back to number 1 on my "next" list, then somehow I talk myself out of it. Someday it'll be on top when the money is burning my pockets.
Really nice work Dick.

I'd love to see progress pictures the next time you do a Bisley grip job. Those are stunning!

Very good craftsmanship! Those are beautiful, Dick!
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
