Very beautiful grips shown, here!

When it comes to "tiger stripe" handles, there exist, in my opinion, a lot of misunderstanding.
Many of these handles show darker stripes in the wood, which were simply applied with candle flames: these are not "tiger stripes".

Real "tiger stripes" are light reflections on the woods surface, the stripes are moving when you turn the grip into natural light. This light effect is not so easy to photograph.
These grips are in my opinion quite rare to find.

Best regards,

Herman
