"I like the orangeish goncalo alves stocks from the 70’s and 80’s Smith and Wessons."
My Bangkok made, 'Bay purchased 686 grips arrived... wish I could post pics from my cell phone... Amazing wood as described above, with S&W medallions too! First coat of Tru-oil just went on. For 1/4 or less of the price of vintage or new Rosewood / Goncalo Alves, I'm VERY happy with these! 7 or 8 more coats and they will go on the gun. Looks very similar to Goncalo Alves / Tigerwood.
