Satin is always my favorite finish on the ironwood, but sometimes the customer wants the gloss. Who am I to disagree.

Thanks for posting up pics of your awesome work, you're the last of the 'COTEP Craftsman'. :cool: ... http://www.cotep.org/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

No problem! I try to keep things up to date on here just in case there's anyone still on board that wants to keep up.

I've been doing this long enough to see a lot of "start-up" guys come and go, but lately I'm surprised that I've outlasted some of the "bigger" names. Sarge has retired and Ahrend's is filing bankruptcy. I don't know what happened to Zane at Lone Star Custom Grips.

The BIG Guy pops in once in a while, I hope he's still doing his grip thing but he hasn't posted any pics here in his ‘What’s on the workbench today’ thread since 7/2017.

I haven’t seen him on any of the other boards for a while either. I hope he’s doing ok. He’s one of the few grip makers that I like.
