A couple beautiful examples of Cocobolo. I love the color and wild veining in this wood.

SRT1 .I did see any on your sight .if i missed it i am sorry .old age old eyes.
 
Some extreme spalted maple. The wood was originally too soft to work with, so I sent it off to be professionally stabilized. That's the problem with spalted woods, the prettier they are the softer they are in most cases.
Gorgeous wood!

srt1 nice work .i wish i would have saved all the different types of wood and mtcarta from the westinghouse plant i worked at back in the 1960's:banghead:
 
WOW I like that P09 it's AMAZING

Here is my M&P maybe not as pretty as some of the custom jobs but at least it HAS grip unlike that other plastic gun. LOL

I had to dig deep into old pictures to find these. They are.. different anyway. They are genuine python skin. You sometimes see snakeskin grips, but how often to you see them in green ? :)

I'll contribute with some Horn grips that I thinned a little bit.

This photo really shows the character of Horn.

It has beautiful properties; they're not just shiny and black.

Howdy Olympus, I like the new grips.

Spalted Maple, huh? Are those for me? They are beautiful.

Yessir...those would be one of your sets! The second set was finished last night and are currently drying with their 4th coat of finish. The second set I believe to look even better than those! These two sets are easily the best ones I've made yet. I don't get many requests for the beveled bottom, so it took some trial error to get the bevel just right. But I finally hit pay dirt and the results are just as good as any made from a CNC machine. I'll have them shipped to you by the weekend.
 
Here's the latest two sets that I've finished. If your style is a little on the wild side, these might do the trick for you. The grips are both box elder burl that are pressure injected with acrylic dyes. The purple set is sold to another forum member here. The grips are bobtail cut with bevels on both the bottom edge as well as the bobbed edge. The green and yellow set is a standard set and is for sale.

Alright.

I confess that I love ivory. Even though I'm an animal lover who doesn't hunt and opposes things like dog fighting, bullfighting, and other cruelty to animals (I don't oppose fair sport hunting I just don't do it) I can't help myself when it comes to ivory stocks. I have several 1911s wearing ivory and a couple of revolvers.

One of the 1911s:

This is actually fake ivory but it has a genuine diamond inset beneath the scrimshawed emblem:

Newest addition...

1927 made Colt Official Police .32-20 with jade grips. Makes for a heavy revolver, but serious grin factor. :D
