My daily carry 1911. Custom Colt Combat Commander with Walnut grips by Woodnut. This old Series 70 has held up well thru the years and still holds a very tight group.

Crpdeth, the second picture in the other thread is Asian Amboyna Burl, you nailed it and they are awesome.
Thanks to all for the fine compliments.

Woodnut.

Thanks for the clarification, Carl... I'll have to repair my blunder in the other thread because it is the Ironwood that has my attention.

Is the Ironwood as rare as the Amboyna?

Crpdeth

Yes, the good grades are getting rare. Dale just happened to be persistent in looking on the web to find this fine specimen. Expensive too, I might add.

Par for the course, if I find something I really like it's rare or expensive or both.

FNG here, making my first post on this site - looks like the right thread to get started! My Series '70 Colt, purchased new by my father in 1980 and given to me unfired in 2008. We took it to the range and broke it in together - perfection.

JLA · 02-08-2011, 06:15 PM

nice. Old skool. Love it! Welcome Juker!

Juker · 02-08-2011, 06:23 PM

Thanks, pleasure to be here. BTW, the receipt was still in the box; $269 in 1980.

JLA · 02-08-2011, 06:27 PM
