Those look great - kinda reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night! How do you achieve that color?

the grips were dyed blue when they were stabilized, you put wood in a vacuum pot and add resin and the dye, you then vacuum out all the air, this causes the wood to soak up the resin/dye mixture, after about 6 hours you take the blanks out, bake them to cure the resin and you now have stabilized and dyed blanks.

Wow - you're a true artist! I love those grips - makes me wish I had a stainless gun. Although they'd look great on a Hard Hat treatment too. But I already have camel bones on that gun. Wait, I do have a stainless gun - my Eclipse! OMG - you're killing me !!! Now those are going to be on my mind - please sell them quickly

But, but, but ... that's an Officer, right? Problem solved - phew ... that was close. Man, I have issues

well now I don't stabilize them myself, I've studied how but I don't really want to spend 4 or 5 hundred on all the equipment right now, i'd rather buy guns

and yes don't worry, those are for an officer model and they're already sold, I Guess I probably shouldn't tell you about the Maple I just got in

Unless you can work them into a well defined orange/dark brown tiger pattern I can resist

Might be able to find some nice full size blue ones sitting in a safe, if you are looking.
