Hi all,
there is a wide range of grip fillers on the market, including the highly regarded Morini grip paste. All fillers I am aware of have a high density and feel 'cold'. Wood, particularly American walnut, is more porose and has a lighter density. Is there a filler that matches these attributes better in your opinion?

Once I carved out a portion of a grip, then glued a fitting block of wood into place and reworked it. The result was a lot more pleasent feeling then expoxy filler.

An idea I just had - has anybody tried adding coarse wood filings to epoxy filler to make the surface feeling more wood-like?

PC Woody is a wood-based epoxy putty which has so far worked quite well for me. It takes a while to harden enough to carve or file, but the result is a decently wood-like texture with very low density and quite high strength. You could mix wood flour into epoxy putties, but in my experience one should stay below about 15% with most fillers or the epoxy pastes or liquid epoxies tend not to fully cure, at least for very long periods.

Gerard,
thanks for the help, PC Woody looks like just the right solution! Now I have to find a company that ships it over the atlantic..
