In this thread I will try to tell you how I do my work. I will be the teacher so to speak. I am sure there are a lot of you out there that know more than I do, but I will share my ways, as well as ask questions on your ways. I can always learn, you never stop learning. I have been customizing for many years and now am ready to give some of my tips to others. Below is a picture of a set of Cherrywood that is just plain beautiful. I stippled a design on them and finished with Tru-Oil. I will post new pictures for your enjoyment in the future. ENJOY THE BEAUTY.

They sure do still look good. If I remember correctly this wood came from the stump we pulled from your ditch at the campground. I still have enough to make about 5 sets of grips.
Thanks for the post.
this a set that I just finished, experimenting with resin. Give me some pointers, I think it has some great potential in different applications.
BTW these are for sale, if interested PM me.
Thanks, I am going to do a lot of experimenting with this stuff, think I can come up it's some interesting stuff with it.
Right now I'm thinking of the forum logo filled with resin. Picking the wood and color is the problem.
what are your initials, and what kind of wood would you like, I will do you a drawing using some of the blanks I have in stock.
Thanks for the interest.

As for wood, I'm not sure. Would probably need to be something darker since they would go on a stainless 1911. Coco Bolo, Cherry or Rosewood would probably look good. A slanted half texture with the initials running down the edge.
Thinking of either light blue, turquoise or black resin for the letters. I really liked the letter B you did on the walnut grips. (#5 in your gallery.)
This will probably be a project for a later date as I've already spent WAY too much on gun stuff lately. Just mulling over ideas right now.
Here is a set that just came off the table. They are made out of Mammoth tooth. The gentleman sent me the blanks and I did the work. The logo on them is his choice and it is a peach with a snake wrapped around it and is about to bite the peach,
Enjoy!
Here is a set I built for a Navy guy. Also two more sets that were made this month. If anyone wants a set of custom handmade grips let me know and I will start you a drawing, from that we can design whatever you want.
Enjoy the eye candy.
