Get back to us soon Carl, we need you to create all those great grip designs we have floating around in our heads we haven't told you about. I will have a new custom commander that will need a set of your grips to set it apart from every other custom out there. Our prayers are with you. Good luck and may God speed your recovery.

I have recovered enough to take some orders now. Might be a little slow on the beginning but I will be back at full speed before you know it. I am starting to work in the shop this afternoon. I would go out there this morning but I have some errands to run for the wife that will take until noon.

This was the last set of grips turned out before my surgery. Desert Ironwood with Hart design and hart around screw hole, inlaid initials and wedding date. Turned out very nice

Hope all is well with you. I am working on a commander size custom build and will be ordering for them soon. Your grips are so good, I would not consider any body else making custom grips for me. Glad to see you back.

Goofy and I did a little barter a while back and I ended up with this awesome fiddleback maple board. This is some beautiful stuff. Just finished them today.
Enjoy!

This is some more of the finest Desert Ironwood I've seen, then again I say this each time I get hold of Ironwood in high grade.
This is a before inlay and after inlay. The wood looks awesone without the inlays. You can tell I am not a photo person. These were made for a US postal Inspector, he sent me the medallions. One is a mini badge the other is the mad bomber.
Nice huh?
