Default Re: How to customize your 1911 grips

Some time ago I promised to show you a Maltese Cross inlay made out of white tail antler. Here is a picture of the grips. The wood is Macassar Ebony. The Ebony is almost black, it has some very dark brown grain so I cut the cross from the outer section of the point so the inlay would not be so white. It really blends well with the Ebony. I have recently come across some MOP and have worked a set of Maltese crosses out of it. They will be forth coming.
Enjoy the Inlay. If you have any comments, please reply.
