Never seen one but they are carvable - un-carved ones pop up on ebay from time to time with high prices. The plastic ones are really useful and probably better (depending on how skilled you are at carving).
Thanks I thought they were carvable, if I get one I will hand it over to a friend of mine who is a craftsman/cabinet maker and a very good wood turner

You could always remove the fixing attachment of a plastic grip and ask your friend to fashion one for you to the shape, size and wood of your choosing.johnha wrote:

I think you're talking about the LX grip A - it isn't made of wood (although it is often advertised as such), but comes as an oversized chunk of brown carvable plastic/resin. It is nice to be able to shape the grip to your exact fit, but with the prices they sell for nowadays I think the black plastic grip B is probably better

Me too, though I've seen it described as 'wood' and 'composition wood' (which I took to mean laminated).

I seem to recall seeing a post on Flickr's LX section from a person who carved his own. I have the plastic grip and heartily recommend it.

Do you know someone who makes them? It would be nice to have a wooden grip.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
