Default 2 more wood grips

Picked up two more sets of wood grips to replace rubber on a couple of 1911s.

Nice looking. I like the checkered ones the best, but the others are nice too. What wood is on the second set, Padauk, Osage Orange, or am I way off base. ??

Wood on the 2nd one is Padauk.
The checkered ones are a used set of Kim Ahrends. Surprising how good plain old tung oil finish can look on good wood.
