Brown's Custom Grip Thread

Yeah, I'd be more than happy with those as well! (3, 1, & 2 in order of preference) if by the slightest chance some of those would be easier to come by!

Any of my COTEP siblings know of any grip makers offering Irish Bog Oak?

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.

Yes, those are all spoken for. I only make grips for 1911s.

Honestly, I've got more work than I can handle so payment in advance wouldn't make things easier for me.

Unfortunately, I think I have decided to eliminate the special order option completely. Some people have left a very bad experience with special orders. It's nearly impossible to locate wood that looks similar to something I've done in the past. I've got too many other people wanting grips and I don't have the time to scour my sources in an attempt to find that "perfect" set for someone.
