Do you offer any stippling or checkering on your beautiful grips?

I think that checkering would ruin the looks of that beautiful wood!!

Just my opinion but I learned long ago that it does not count for much!!!

I agree, but if someone wants something, and I think I can do a good job of it, I will try it. If it looks like crap, I won't offer it. I am a custom grip maker, but I reserve the right to refuse requests that devalue my work.

Nice looking stuff RB. I especially like the gnarly desert ironwood grips I've seen in other threads. When you have a set done up, definately want pictures. Good luck with your endeavor!

I am going to be doing some Desert Ironwood grips in a run soon, but they are much better than anything you have seen yet. Trust me. This stuff will knock your socks off!

It looks like the Am-Box Elder-nya is SPF. Good news is that I have another set of 6 grips coming up this weekend. Also, I am starting to move into more rare stock of wood. The prices on those pieces will be more, but they will be in a whole different class from what you have seen. I am ecstatic to show you what we have in store!

I am not sure, I will mention it to my father in law and see what he thinks. Stippling will be easier to do, but I like checkering better.
