Those are really colorful, nice. You planning on making up any more Desert Ironwood, the gnarly ones? If you do, I've got first dibs on em'.

I'm always on the lookout for exceptional ironwood. But after I did that big run, it seems like every knife and grip maker in the country started buying up all the ironwood. So not only is the supply of exceptional ironwood low, the demand has caused the price of the wood to increase a lot too. It was just a good time for me to move on to other woods. But I'm always keeping an eye out with my suppliers.

Those a pretty too! Trouble is, I don't have a bob. Man, I'm just batting a thousand ain't I?

I've been having a lot of people requesting to see more bobbed grips so that is why. Almost made them regular style. Just shows you can't accommodate everyone. Maybe next time...

That's okay........I'm a very patient man.

If these are available, please send me a PM.

Sorry, those were sold within just a few minutes of being added to the site.

Looking good as usual!!!:)

Those are pretty, but then I'm partial to blue!

Thanks Sniper. I was hoping to get more blue out of the wood, but as I started contour sanding, the blue went away and more tan came through. Such is the way with wood though.

Exhibition Grade Desert Ironwood

My goodness you do beautiful work!

Are these spoken for??

Yes. I offered a Black Friday special on my Facebook page offering 5 special order slots for customers to select their own choice of woods. This customer requested exhibition grade desert ironwood. I didn't particularly enjoy making the grips, but the finished product was more than worth it.
