thanks Alex!

I always thought they were related but I wasn't certain so I looked it up and the only thing I could find was that they are both members of the family Leguminosae but they are from separate genus, ( whatever that means funny ) I know they're both from South East Asia.

a friend from a woodworking forum saw my post about the autism charity match and donated two desert ironwood blanks so I was able to send these two sets to the match as well.

BTW, happy anniversary, brother. You're a welcome addition here, but if you don't stop by the chatbox once in awhile, I'm gonna get fussy :)

thanks Mike.:) I'm fixin to slow things down some so I'll be able to come by the chatbox more often.:D

Good looking grips as usual Zane. Makes me want more...must resist.

As usual, quality plus! You are quite the craftman Zane.

Beautiful grips bro.

Would you be able to do a set for a Colt Government 380?
