Hello John

Thanks for asking about the medallions. They were cut out of Snow White Holly wood with a jewelers saw. Then the TFF was cut into them with a exato knife and rotary tool. Well let me back up the TFF was cut first then the shape cut out of the wood. After the medallion was inlaid into the grip the TFF was then poured with black epoxy and sanded smooth with the surface.
Thanks for looking and keeping up with the thread.
Carl.
