SILVERWORK

      Classic Single Action makes one-of-a-kind original designs in gold and silver for grip inlays. If you have an idea or a drawing, it can become a reality. Most of the original designs are hand carved in wax before a master is made. Some of the medallions are CAD drawn and then CNC carved in wax before the master is made. You cannot purchase any of the silverwork you see separately. I only sell my silverwork in grips I make.

     Staying true to my commitment of only the highest quality for my customers, you will find no cheap alloys or mass produced third party pieces. All of the silverwork for Classic Single Action is created by me. This means complete quality control over every piece made. Using the “Lost Wax” process, as they did in the 1800’s insures quality and authenticity. All inlays are done by hand, without power tools.

       Silverwork is only made after the grips are finished. Waxes for cast designs are formed over the completed grips so they sit perfectly flush with the surface. Then they are cast in the metal of your choice and inlaid into the grip. This is why the inlays are so precise. “Flush Inlay” in the description means that after the inlay is done, it is sanded to the contour of the grip and polished in place. You cannot feel it in the grip.

     Classic Single Action has a reputation for quality. This reputation didn’t come from making things cheaply, or doing it fast, it comes from doing it right. All silverwork is created and inlaid using time honored traditional methods and tools.

Seahorse Dragon. Sterling Silver in Fancy Walnut ~ $250.00 Inlaid

Hand carved original design.

Bear Paw. Sterling Silver and Turquoise in Juniper.

Striking Rattlesnake. Sterling Silver in Fancy Walnut. Revised CSA design.

There are some snakes out there that are similar to these. The difference in these is that I redesigned them to better

match each other. I changed the heads, the tails, the spots in the diamonds and the shape of the eyes.

Now they are more attractive and look much more alike ~ $275.00 ea.
