and let me know what you think. Constructive criticism is welcome.
My wife is pregnant (our first
) and she's having the first trimester blues....she's sick all the time. So I was thinking the other day, what can I do that keeps me around here (can't go shooting as much right now
) but leaves me available to help out if she needs me. I decided to start making 1911 grips.
Here's a pic of both sets I made yesterday. Left is cocobola and right is walnut.
Here's the walnut on my Kimber
Here's the cocobola
I've got a checkering set on the way. Hopefully I'll have it here tomorrow and I can start tinkering with that as well.
I figured I would screw a few pairs up before I got it right but amazingly, the walnuts were my first set and the cocobola's were my second.
Thanks for looking and let me know what you think,
Brian
UpdateAlright, Here's the current status.
Walnuts are checkered. I put both picks up BC the flash makes the one glossier than they really are. I sealed them with TruOil.
I picked a hard pattern to do with the border. As you can see, I have a few places I overan the border.
Here's where I'm at on the cocobola set. Only initial cuts made on one grip. I'm doing these in the traditional diamond pattern.
