I have had these grips for awhile and don't know what wood they are. Zebra wood or Walnut? Thanks for any help, Mike

You need to put a picture of them so the grips can be identified. In this picture the walnut grips are on the revolver and the Zebra grip sitting in the case.

They look like see thru wood to me! Ghost wood? The grain is so light you can hardly see them!

Very nice Walnut grips. Sometimes you get them like that where some people think they are Zebra's. The way the wood is it almost looks like a Zebra but the wood is too dark to be a Zebra. Got some chips on the front though so brings down the value. Still overall a beautiful walnut grip!

That is quarter sawn wood. The log is quartered and turned on one side to saw planks. Most of the wood has that signiture straight grain instead of the wavy grain obtained by normal milling.
