Custom Wood Grips

[mclaggan123]

can you get maple from the root? it s maple but its cut from the root so it has lots of grain and looks like a star patern in it. i have a few firearms with this wood and its the best graining ive seen. if you can get it let me know how much it will cost for a set for an emag with the curve. thanks in advance.

answered PM's. Oh, and the Wenge is not going to be an option. Got it, tried it, and it just doesnt have the strength needed. LOOKS GREAT, but is a not strong enough. If people are interested, then I will post a pic of how it looks.

Added Pic of Dye'd and stabilized wood grips to post #2, at bottom of post. Check it out. Other colors are available. Working on getting a list of colors, just waiting on a reply for the supplier

All of you grips are very nice. I was wondering if you've thought about putting images onto you wood grips... I think it's a form of woodcarving called woodburning? Just an idea.

[kruger]

Thanks, I do appreciate the compliments. There are people that are able to Laser in images into the grips, altho, I am not one of them. The wood burning was something that I briefly considered. I have a very narrow skill, (if you can call it that), and an artist, I am not. But, thanks for the idea. There are some people that I have sold grips to that have/are going to Laser in some things, and when they finish their particular projects, they will post up pics. But, these thing go rather slowly sometimes.

THANKS. I am trying to do a decent job.

You can always have more than one set of grips guys!

Remember the SP wood grips of the olden days? They were with poo wood... and cost 30 dollars... These are custom made, hand crafted, and the bomb. My set is a pinnacle in the design of my EMAG's new ano. Red Mallee, which looks like old blood swirls quite nice. Once ano is done if it is ok Kruger I will post pics. You have some of them now (They will get a bit more afterward.)

Just because I hate to see kids whine, here you go:



And, Todd, you can post up your finished gun in my thread. I just luv custom guns


I decided to post up this pic cuz you can really see the way that the grain looks on the grip in the back ground, no flash glare. The crack that you see are naturally in the wood. These particular grips have been stabilized, so the cracks only add character to the grips. Tho, it would have been nice if they did not have the cracks in them. Just click on the pic to go to Jayloo, there you can click on it again and see the full size pic and get a better idea of how they look.
