Default Re: How to customize your 1911 grips

This is an after thought from the previous post. I took a picture of my Springer with those grips on it. Just wanted to show it off.. I didn't mention the that the thickness of the inlay is roughly 1/8 of an inch or a little less. The ones I made from the Mother Of Pearl will be about 1/16 or just a little over. I have to curve the back of them so they will fit the curve of the grip. I am not sure what wood I am going to put the MOP in. The black Micarta would be really eye catching, but I am not sure if that is what I want or not, any suggestions?
ENJOY!
