Zane, do you have access to Corian?

I will get with him one day this week and see what he has available. He normally just throws the small leftover pieces in the dumpster.

Negative Zane. The Corian will not cost me a thing as it is too small for him to do anything with.

Those look great - kinda reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night! How do you achieve that color?

the grips were dyed blue when they were stabilized, you put wood in a vacuum pot and add resin and the dye, you then vacuum out all the air, this causes the wood to soak up the resin/dye mixture, after about 6 hours you take the blanks out, bake them to cure the resin and you now have stabilized and dyed blanks.

Wow - you're a true artist! I love those grips - makes me wish I had a stainless gun. Although they'd look great on a Hard Hat treatment too. But I already have camel bones on that gun. Wait, I do have a stainless gun - my Eclipse! OMG - you're killing me Zane!!! Now those are going to be on my mind - please sell them quickly :D

But, but, but ... that's an Officer, right? Problem solved - phew ... that was close. Man, I have issues funny

well now I don't stabilize them myself, I've studied how but I don't really want to spend 4 or 5 hundred on all the equipment right now, i'd rather buy guns:)

and yes don't worry, those are for an officer model and they're already sold, I Guess I probably shouldn't tell you about the Maple I just got in:D

Unless you can work them into a well defined orange/dark brown tiger pattern I can resist :p
