Default Re: How to customize your 1911 grips

Well Hotsights, you don't need me any more, those are beautiful. I love the idea you came up with for the target. I would like to ask how you cut the circle out of the clam shell. The inlay work is magnificent. You have come a long way my friend.

I am going to show these Ivory grips for the Colt Jr. that I finished about a month ago and just have not posted them yet. This is the set for the young lady that will get the gun in 18 years, she was just born this past summer, the art work is scrimshaw, not inlay, and I was honored with building these grips for her when she grows up. Hope you like them. As you can tell the customer is from Texas.

Enjoy!
