Come Into Bawanna's Famous Grip Emporium

[OldLincoln]

Hey, whatever will "get'r done!" If you run out of ideas just visit thereifixedit.com.

[WMD]

Well.........!

A nice package arrived a the house today. It was a set of grips from that famous old grip maker...., Bawana45Cal!

They are Coco Bolo and are for my Auto-Ordnance Presentation Grade 1911. They are absolutely stunning! I sent a couple of pics to Bawana and maybe he will post for all to see. I have not yet figured that part out yet. If he does post them, You will quickly note that I am not a photographer!

BTW, if you are looking for a really nice 1911, I would strongly recommend the AO Presentation Grade as advertised on the main page. It is a sweeeet gun! (sorry for the commercial!)

[Bawanna]

Great news. I was kind of wanting to tell ya I sent them but kind of wanted to surprise ya too. I take it they fit to your satisfaction?

That's a hell of a gun to live up to with wood.

I best go check my home email and see what I can see.

Glad they got there anyhow.

Paging OldLincoln, paging OldLincoln

I sent a couple of pics to Bawana and maybe he will post for all to see.

Glad to hear uncle B got you set up with some sweet Cocobolo grips, WMD. Enjoy them, I'm sure they look fabulous on a fantastic gun. But for crying out loud, you sent the pictures to my favorite uncle!? For what, to post?? The man is a master whittler no doubts, but sending him pics to post is like sending jocko .45 or sending jlottmc some 9mm - they just don't mix.

[Bawanna]

No truer words have ever been spoken. Alas I have sent them to my go to IT specialist Old Lincoln and requested him to post em big for all to see.

They really do look good if I do say so myself. I might be just a tad bias as I've spent a little time bonding with them.
I just love that gun too. I'm looking around the house for Peter so I can konk him on the head, rob him to pay off Paul and then steal the money to buy a presentation grade for myself.

I was very much afraid them grips wouldn't live up to the gun but I think we done alright. Least ways they look great from my house.

[OldLincoln]

At last, something for me to do!! Makes me feel useful.

[mr surveyor]

WOW.... fantastic!

[Bawanna]

You are darn useful. And now your directly related to WMD too. Them grips on your commander came from about an inch away from these on the same piece of wood. That was pretty much the end of that piece for useful good grain stuff. Time to start looking for more with good figure in it.
Since the stabilized thing isn't perfected we'll stick with real wood.

You somehow seem to post way better pictures than I send you too. You gotta be fixing em somehow. You da man!

[Bawanna]

That's sure a pretty 1911! It's giving me a fever really bad. I haven't had a severe case of the wants for quite awhile but this has been on the burner. These pictures lit the burner and things are starting to boil.

I'm not gonna be myself for awhile now, I can feel it in my bones.

[MikeyKahr]

Exactly

WOW.... fantastic!

That's exactly what I said. Word for word. Great job, uncle B, once again. And looks like I'm gonna have to call auntie to hide the wallet again.

[Bawanna]

That's exactly what I said. Word for word. Great job, uncle B, once again. And looks like I'm gonna have to call auntie to hide the wallet again.

Actually I traded the wallet to Peter the last time I owed Paul. So the wallet is out of the picture. Auntie is gonna be genuinely PO'd if I pull one of these off. Could be the worst beating I've received in months.

Somethings are just meant to be and I'd take a good licking for one of these.

I was gonna get a MRI someday just cause but this one hits me in a soft spot, ok ok I got lots of soft spots but I'm gonna start working out. Maybe Jillian from Biggest Loser can come over and beat me up and make me puke an get me back to my lean mean carousing machine status, or not!

Not an endless supply of these left either. 7 more if that and they are gone.

Gone without Bawanna having one, that should be criminal. Totally unacceptable. I'll have none of that.

Of course dear, gotta go vaccum now before I turn down the bed and massage SWMBO'd feet.

Peace Out.

[jocko]

a gun that nice and with such super looking grips deserves to be held up by a MONT BLANC instead of a "pencil"

[steve666]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Rarely have I seen any as pretty.

[jlottmc]

You still have some of that Mesquite right? The pictures you posted don't do those grips justice.

[Bawanna]

I got a lot of mesquite left and it was in my minds last night. Might have to whittle out another set.

If only my hands and my body could keep up with the plans in my head, we'd be doing fine.
