Fiddleback Maple



Honduran Rosewood Burl

Matched set of gray and cream box elder burl grips for a 1911 knife and pistol combo.

Those grips look great. I think some of my 1911's need some updating....

Never hurts to update. I've got enough of the gray and ivory box elder to make two more sets.

Nice work, Adam, you have some true works of art, there. I see you don't special order grips anymore, but it's probably just as well -I think I'll just know it when I see it!

Thanks for the kinds words. I've got to get caught up on a bunch of orders first. It's probably going to be April before I can start putting new grips on the website.

I used to do a lot of special orders, but learned quickly a few bad apples spoil the bunch. From now on it will be "what you see is what you get". Hate to be like that...

Alan,
Do you think you have access to a piece of wood like this? I've seen spalted maple and similar wood grips with black etching like this, but only in pictures, and never for sale for a Vbob. It's the most pleasing grip to my eye of all, and I would not only like to be put on a waiting list, but will pre-pay if that would help any.

Well, as long as you don't call me Alan again, I think I might be able to find some more of that spalted maple.

I can't commit right now because I'm so behind, but ask me again in about April and I should be ready by then.
