    yes, I know what you mean. There are subtle differences in them that probably nobody else would see. I have been working with wood a lont time, and it is true that nothing is ever perfect, but I want to try to get as close as I can. Thank you all for your nice comments...I am gonna do some experiments w/colors...

        I can make them as thick as 1 cm or as thin as 3 mm, it's all a preference...although I wouldn't recommend them only being 3 mm

        I use a 12" planer, bandsaw, beltsander, vise, clamp, and various files and sandpaper.

          Questions.....

          Is there anyway I can get on somekind of list with you or something that I can be one of the first to order these when you are ready to output to the public? And... is there anyway you could make these blue?

          Both sets came out really good, but I prefer the new "radical" design. Nice Work!

            Coco bolo makes great grips too. I have a custom set for my .38 super and also had a friend who is a custom knife maker fabricated me a skinning knife with coco bolo handle panels. Very durable yet easy to work with.

              Really nice grips!

              Check this place out. They sell knifemaking supplies. They have a lot of different handle materials. I'm fond of the Dymondwood multi-color laminates.
