Custom 1911 Grips

Nice grips, I like both sets.

I like it..
What finish did you use? I might do that for my 380.

Very nice, I’d like to see the spalted set mounted on the Commander.

Thanks…

Bob42 – All I used was high gloss tung oil.

Great looking set!

I’m inspired…I can just see explaining to my wife that I need to buy a 1911 so I can make some cool grips too…

Q

-- I don't make sawdust...I produce vast quantities of "Micro Mulch."

is the second set made from spalted beech? btw i do like the second set better, they are beautiful, nice pistol too.

woodchips- The second set was made from spalted pecan. I like them better as well, the only problem is I did not use a hardner first and once i was finished I noticed a nice long crack running down the length. I have another set of scales I plan on remaking them..

I’ve always wanted to try that. Seems to me that if you use the right wood and take time to fit the grips to your hand, you can’t help but support a great shooting position.

Looks phenomenal!

Well done. I’d carry either set.

Very nice looking pair of grips. Either one would look great.
