It looks very nice. I like the look of the wood accents. Thanks for posting a picture of the entire grip it was hard to imagine from the original snippets. The wood looks a lot like a rosewood is it (guayakan) from the same family? Mark

Thanks for your komments.
Yes, I guess that it belongs to the rosewood family. The splint is yellowish with dark green pores (very few). I still have a good stock of that wood, about 6 years ago I have brought that from the dominican republic; a log weighing about 30lb. My bag was darn heavy lol.
