I do not think so. I would rather have ants eat my flesh while I was still alive.

Looking good so far.

What kind of tools are you using? What do you want your finished set to look like? Do you have a dimensioned drawing (schematic)?

edit: Looks like you are making a right-hand set

well, im basically using my knife, and some sand paper. as for the finish, im just gonna buff the shit out of em, and use a clear urithane. I'm trying to make them right & left. but i dont have any prints, scematics, etc..., im just carving them by eye, and then trace around my stock grips, then carve some more. ill post some more pix after i get more batteries
