Cool Andy! I've seen rattlesnake grips before, but I don't think I've ever seen them with the badge in there also. Very nice!

Red Mallee burl from Australia. Beautiful and hard as a rock!

Beautiful Cochinchinc burl. The block was "green" when I bought it over a year ago. I've been patiently waiting for the moisture to regulate so I could cut into it without shrinking and such. It was worth it. Not only is there great burl pattern, but also a really cool curly figure in there. Beeeeeautiful stuff!
Enjoy!

Something unique for today.....
I found some Trustone blanks in the shop left over from my pen turning days, and decided to use them in grips. This is the first of 4 sets to use the 4 different colors I found. White marble set in Beeswing Narra. The others are green Malachite in Wenge, Turquoise in Mesquite, and Red Jasper in a wood I haven't chosen yet. Trustone is billed as 90% real stone crushed and put back together with resins for better workability and toughness. Definitely different!

Here's my other set of Trustone and wood. This one in Turquoise and Mesquite.

I like two wood grips. The contrasts in color and figure/graining is beautiful. This set is done in Bubinga (an African hard wood) and good ol' curly Maple.
Enjoy!

Hey Sarge got the Fire Box Elder grips and all is well. Had a chance to use the checkering tools yet?

Thanks

Tim,
I have some spare time scheduled for the spring of 2010. Thank you for sending them, that was very generous. I will try them out and play with them soon.

Hey it was my pleasure, hopefully they'll come to some good.

Amazing grips everyone. I had to go back to the first page twice just to go through and drool over them all again.
SRT1 You do some amazing work with these exotic woods. Beautiful!
I hope this hasn't been asked already, but can you or will you do revolver grips? I would love to get some monogrip shaped grips for my N-frame in anyone of the spalted/burl woods you use.
These are the ones that it had when I bought it used. Good color, but they could be more comfortable.

Here's a set in 100% Maple Burl in Ultra Thins for an officer frame. Satin finish. Beautiful wood!

A set of EMP grips from a Maple Burl cut inside to outside. Beautiful transition as you go from the burl "heart" to the lighter, curly figure of the outer portion. Very cool.
Enjoy,
Sarge

Hey Sarge, can you make the set above for an Officers size grip? With basicly the same grain layout.

OOOHHHH I almost forgot and checkered.

On a serious note those are hot. Not as hot as the Fire Box Elder but "me want" none the less.

Again with the checkering. Ugh. :banghead:
I'm taking pics tonight of a set that stippled. I really think it will make people think about it over checkering when they see it. We'll see. I did it last night and the feel in the hand is SCHWEET!

 

[SRT1]

Pics of a set with stippling on the Wenge (dark wood) on one grips and on the Maple on the other grip. This stippling feels about like 120 grit sandpaper and is great for a good grip, but doesn't tend to snag clothing.

Interesting idea Sarge. Pretty good looking too.

Some of the more classic looking English Walnut. Man, this stuff if getting harder and harder to find in any quality. English Walnut is harder, denser and usually has more the lighter base wood with the inky black veining throughout. It's beatiful wood.

 

[SRT1]

Wild Cocobolo! The grain just follows the shape of the grip. Very pleasing to the eye.

These are as close to Christmas grips as I've got, so Merry Christmas everyone! Please take a moment to remember our troops who can't be with their loved ones this year. "Duty" is a weighty word this time of year but they still do it proudly and with honor.

SRT1, those Trustone Turquosie Mesquite are exquisite. Wish I could afford a pair of those for my PCR!

Here are the wife's new grips -on her Christmas present CZ P01. Not nearly as nice as SRT1s, but she likes them. New stocking item at CZ-USA.

All beautiful grips Wood, Ivery, stag, etc, nice for looks on any guns but for CC or a combat piece I like my packmeyer's non slip etc for fast shooting, with sweaty hands when the chips are down & the SHTF happens
