Brother ....you make some beautiful grips! (Just sayin):toast:

Thank you sir! Looking forward to seeing more of your work too.

As soon as I get some more time! I've been working a lot of hours lately:(

I know what you mean there. :toast:

Those grips look great. I think some of my 1911's need some updating....

Never hurts to update. I've got enough of the gray and ivory box elder to make two more sets.

These are the fiddleback maple grips from post #91 mounted on a stainless gun. They will pop a lot more against a black frame.

Those are beautifull:) Mike

Thanks!

Nice work, Adam, you have some true works of art, there. I see you don't special order grips anymore, but it's probably just as well -I think I'll just know it when I see it!

Thanks for the kinds words. I've got to get caught up on a bunch of orders first. It's probably going to be April before I can start putting new grips on the website.

I used to do a lot of special orders, but learned quickly a few bad apples spoil the bunch. From now on it will be "what you see is what you get". Hate to be like that...

Alan,
Do you think you have access to a piece of wood like this? I've seen spalted maple and similar wood grips with black etching like this, but only in pictures, and never for sale for a Vbob. It's the most pleasing grip to my eye of all, and I would not only like to be put on a waiting list, but will pre-pay if that would help any.

Well, as long as you don't call me Alan again, I think I might be able to find some more of that spalted maple. :)

I can't commit right now because I'm so behind, but ask me again in about April and I should be ready by then.

Sorry! I thought I saw your name (maybe even upside down) earlier in the thread and must have mis-remembered! I'm in no hurry, April (or later) will be fine. If you'd like a deposit or full payment, PM me your info and I'll get it to you.

No problem. I was just messing with you. Better not send a deposit this soon or I'll forget who it was from or what it was for. Just shoot me an email or post in April and I will get you taken care of. Also, if you use Facebook you can like us there. I post updates on the Facebook page so you'll be in the loop as far as when I will begin taking orders before everyone else.

Some new satin finish desert ironwood burl that I've recently finished.

Man, that wood is absolutely beautiful!

Those do look VERY nice.

Are any available???

Irish Bog Oak
 

Awhile (30 minutes) ago, I was speaking with a Mr. Kelly at the Colt Custom Shop. He tells me that I may get my Commander back with the tactical package in February. In discussing the grips he asked me if I had ever seen any in Irish Bog Oak. I have looked at all my links and can't seem to locate any. Any of my COTEP siblings know of any grip makers offering Irish Bog Oak?:confused:

I was very impressed as well.

All of those are spoken for. Trying to play catch up on previous orders. I doubt I will have any available for the general public until at least April.

Never seen it used for 1911 grips. That's a pretty rare request so I doubt any other grip makers have any in stock. You might email a few and see if they. An source the wood for you.

Olympus, you are a master of your craft. I find myself staring at your creations over and over again. Truly beautiful and unique color options. Its hard to pick my favorite but I really admire those Gray/Ivory Box Elder Burl grips you posted awhile ago.
I know you're swamped and not accepting orders but if you ever get some Black/Ivory Burl in any wood species keep me in mind. I'd love to order a couple pairs.

Thanks Yankee. I can usually order the dyed box elder in those colors. Just email me around April if you haven't found anything by then.
