TFF Grips Available - The Firearms Forum

Woodnut · 05-25-2011, 05:52 PM

Sam came up with this idea and I jumped all over it. In 2003 Sam was in Nicaragua on some other business and picked up this huge piece of Cocobolo and threw it on the plane to bring home. He ran up on it a couple months ago and sent it to me. I have cut it up into grip blanks. Let me shorten this up and get to the point.
I am going to sell these grips with the TFF logo that I designed a month or so ago. These grips will have the logo laser cut in the grip with a fake ruby set in the center for the red dot. Again these pictures do not do them justice. These grips are for sale to the members for $60 per set. I would like to cut the price some more, but with having to pay for the laser work and the expensive Ruby’s, this is as low as I can go.
These grips will be serial numbered and signed by me.
Number 001 belongs to Sam
Number 002 belongs to me.
The other numbers are available and can be reserved if you like.

I am going to try to bring about 10 sets to the BBQ, if I have time to make them. I have a full June. Leaving for Tennessee on Friday for 10 days to visit my daughters, and Grandson.

BETH · 05-25-2011, 05:56 PM

very nice Carl

Woodnut · 05-25-2011, 05:57 PM

Thanks Beth, I will be proud to wear them.

JLA · 05-25-2011, 05:58 PM

Can I get a set without the Ruby inlay? Id prolly end up breaking it out anyway..

Woodnut · 05-25-2011, 06:30 PM

Josh, You can get them anyway you want. But I don't think you would have a problem with the ruby, it is inset and flush with the surface of the grip.
I will make some pictures of them on my gun tomorrow and post them.

Marlin T · 05-25-2011, 06:48 PM

When I saw this thread I thought 'He is finally going to market these bad boys' and was thinking of this one.

But I really like this one too.

Shooter45 · 05-25-2011, 06:58 PM

Marlin, I installed the top pair on my Commander the day they came in and then filed the screw heads off. I don't think they are going anywhere.

I intended to do a giveaway with the Walnut grips but when I opened the box, all that went out the window. I just couldn't part with them.

JLA · 05-25-2011, 06:59 PM

Put me down for a set minus the Inlay. Where do I pay for them?

Marlin T · 05-25-2011, 07:09 PM

Your busted Shooter!

With the kind of craftsmanship that Woodnut shows, I guess I don't blame you for holding onto them.

Woodnut · 05-25-2011, 07:11 PM

Josh, Thanks and you will have serial #003.
Email to follow.

JLA · 05-25-2011, 07:31 PM

Nice! Yeah I do like the way they look better without the inlay.. I never have been one for bling..

CampingJosh · 05-25-2011, 07:34 PM

Are these available for 1911s only?

I can have the laser logo put on any smooth grip, just ship me the grips and $30 for the laser work.
I build some grips for other guns but mostly 1911's. Full size and Officers models. But I also do the P238 and the untra carry's. Some revolvers I can do, if there is not much work on the back of the grip. That work on the back is very time consuming, especially if you do not have the frame.

gunguy25 · 05-25-2011, 09:01 PM

Those are cool great work!!

Shooter45 · 05-26-2011, 01:08 PM

I already have the grips removed on a 1911 just waiting for the new ones to arrive.

Woodnut · 06-07-2011, 09:06 AM

#004 is sold, and will be delivered at the BBQ.

berto64 · 06-07-2011, 09:34 PM
