22 shooter Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm looking for a set of grips for a 1911 that match STI 2011 grips. If the grips were made right you could even attach magwells made for the 2011's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the grips were made right you could even attach magwells made for the 2011's Not to sure on your description of the grips since I am not familiar with the 2011. If you could be a bit more descriptive, I am sure I could hook you up. Maybe you could PM me and we could chat. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT3 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Just finished another set of Ivory, seems like there is a good demand for them. I just ordered some more of the blank Ivory and have already sold 3 pair and have 2 others interested. Maybe this is what a lot of folks are looking for. Again the pictures do not do them justice. These are Ambi cut, slotted for MSP, and have a beveled bottom. Thanks for looking and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amv Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I just want to provide an unsolicited shout out for Carl, RT3's work. For several years I've wanted to get a pair of desert Ironwood grips for my Kimber Ultra CDP. One day I was searching the various message groups and I came across Carl's work and got in touch with him. He helped me pick out a really nice piece of Ironwood and got right to work. As you can from the attached picture the grips came out beautifully. In addition I have to mention that it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Carl. He response to all my questions/emails were very timely and he got me the grips in no time! All in all I could not be happier. AMV in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT3 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks Oldemagics for posting that order. I thought those grips were gorgeous. Always post your work, it is a pleasure to look at. Many Thank's to AMV for the great write up on my grips. They did turn out quite nice, and really enhances his gun. I am working on some more Ivory at the present time. I have the grips made but I am waiting on the inlays to come in. I won't say what the inlays are at this time, I'll leave that for a little tease. They will be quite unique. I will be sure to post them as I want to know what everyone thinks about them. All ya'll that make grips, post them and let us see your handy work. I always enjoy seeing what other people come up with. Later. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kranzjdw Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 This is a little off topic, but does anyone know where I might find some grips made out of stingray skin? I have a pool cue with ray on the grip and it feels great nice and ruff like grip tape but purdy. Thanks Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT3 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Man I love that Maple. I love working with figured Maple, it always comes out so beautiful. I have just finished stippling a set of laminated Wine Wood grips with the Kimber SIS design, turned out fairly nice. I like this design very much and plan on using it a lot more in the future. Give me your thoughts on them. All comments are welcome, good or bad. Thanks for looking, Enjoy the beauty of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockDown Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hello Gentlemen, my name is Clay. Nice forum you all have here! I have been perusing this thread, lots of nice work! Thought I'd show off a set, they are an aquired taste, I know some of you probably aren't into these sort of designs. Tell me what you think, I can handle constructive criticism as well as guidance to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, it's not for everyone but certainly nice. Would you share the technique? I can't tell from looking exactly how they are done. Keep posting, these are some really awesome grips.
