Another cool example of some gorgeous cocobolo.

Woods don't have to be exotic to be gorgeous. Just look at these different grip sets in maple. Exhibition grade maple.

Here's a twist - This is a set I did for a customer who wanted something that very closely resembled natural Ivory, but without the worries of it. This was my answer. I made these out of Corian which is impervious to cleaners, weather, sweat, normal wear and cracking. I stippled the grips as you can hopefully see in the pics. They came out quite well and fit the frame lines like a glove which is something I always strive for.
Anyway, it's a little different, so enjoy the pics!

Okay, these are just too cool to not share. Check out the beauty of nature displayed in these spalted Maple grips! The wood was way too soft to use for anything on it's own, but I sent the pieces off to be professionally stabilized and now they're solid and great for use in grips. Beautiful wood!
Enjoy,
Sarge

Truly these are eye candy, and better yet, you are in my neck of the woods!

I'm in Shawnee, just south of KC proper. Where are you?

I sure wish you'd either quit posting these pictures or get the equipment to do stuff other than 1911 grips. You're driving me crazy that I can't get some of these.

I dive every chance I get down on the Sea of Cortez and pick up my desert ironwood from guys selling it on the beaches, so I have some, but it is mostly dark. I think I have some that is pretty cool and lighter, but I haven't cut it up yet. So many woods, so little time.

Glad that you all are enjoying the pics and the beauty of the woods.
