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

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:

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.
