Here's a new set of the fiddleback maple. I'm really impressed with how they turned out.

Here are some Buckeye Burl grips that I made for my DW CCO. A very cool weapon! The wood is gorgeous.
Hope you enjoy the pics!

Hamdmade 1911 grips are a beautiful challenge

All these grips show character and tell others something abiut you. Grips are complex pieces of wood that demand you show respect or they will have you pulling your hair out! Still, the wood is beautiful and when you cut into a piece for your first blank, there are suprising treasures of beauty to be found. You have all done excellent work and I appreciate the work shown here.

Well probably not the most beautiful but good to train with

This is a set of big leaf maple burl. Really a unique wood. It's a good thing that I've got a lot more of it. The flash on my camera makes the finish look like it has little specks in it. The finish is smooth as glass. I'm not a professional photographer.

Here's a new set of some bookmatched claro walnut. This set has some really unique colors and grain patterns. The right piece of walnut can look very classy.

I believe these are a factory grip. I bought them about a year after I bought
the P220. I have never been able to find another

Here's the newest set of fiddleback maple grips. This set is pretty much identical to a factory set. It has the msh pin cut-out and a bevel bottom. These grips really look good on a blued frame. The customer who bought the last set sent me pictures of the grips on his blued frame and it really brings out the contrast between the two. If I had a blued 1911, I'd make a set for myself.

Olympus. Just checked out your website and I love all your grips!

Quick question: I know you specialize in 1911 grips, but on your "rates and services" page you say to ask about other models so here goes I'm looking for a nice set of grips for my Ruger Mark III (regular steel frame, not the 22/45) but nobody seems to make any that I like. Interested in making a set?

 

[Olympus]

I sent you a PM.

Amboyna burl grips with the pin cut-out and beveled bottom. They are finished with 10 coats of tung oil Not my preferred finish for this particular wood, but it's what the customer requested.

Trying something different in the design part. I wanted to try something new around the MSH pin area. I'm calling this the double-bevel cut. It will not work for bobtail frames though. The angle of the cut is different than bobtail frames. We'll see if this new design catches on. If not, the wood is just so pretty that I'll end up putting the grips on my own gun!
