Come Into Bawanna's Famous Grip Emporium

[Bawanna]

I don't think they look girly at all. On my monitor they look more red. Are they actually a pink tint? I like colorful grips with lots of pattern. Those look like they are on fire!

Funny, I showed these pictures to 4 different officers here and 2 of them said exactly that. They look like that Colts on fire.

It really is pink, real pink. I'm color blind so while they looked like they were on fire, the pink didn't jump out at me. I think they are perfect for Melissa and I'd wear em myself. Kind of nice to have a gun that looks like it's on fire.

Thanks man, I've got to come up with loot to buy a CZ, I've been wanting one anyhow.
I have to give Melissa full credit for that website, its absolutely amazing. I need to find some time to do some of the stuff she told me to to make it more complete.
It's sure a great place to store pictures and send people who want to see stuff I've done. I'm leaning towards just leaving it as a showcase rather than seek work at least for now. Might make a few as time allows from people that find that site.
Melissas one sharp cookie, she got them pictures from here I assume, some I'd forgotten I ever posted here. Many were thumbnails since I didn't know how to make the big pics.
She's definitely on my pay back list, no doubt more than I can ever afford.

Bawanna, I OC'ed the Defender in a gun shop today and just about every salesman asked about the grips.

How cool is that Melissa. Nobody turned a fire extinguisher on you thinking you were on fire?
Kind of cool to have something that sparks an interest from others.
How did they shoot? Feel good, tell me now cracks or malfunction. I think that was good solid stabilized wood. Should be close to bomb proof.
I been locked out all morning for some unexplained reason, able to watch the party going on but unable to participate.

There's either a crack or a scratch beside one of the screw holes. I'm keeping a watch on it. They feel really good though.

Glad you were finally able to join the party!

There was like a void I think on the lower right side? It felt pretty solid and didn't look like it was going to go anywhere.

Go easy on the "crack" word around me less you enjoy watching old men cry.

Do keep an eye on it though, if it does do that nasty business mentioned above we'll go right back to the black board and do it again and try to get it right.

There's a life time warranty on those. My life time, not theirs.

Yep, that's where it is. I'm not worried about it since we had enough wood left over to make another panel for the right side.

Hey, could you make some panels for a Beretta Jetfire .25 if I send the old panels? I'm thinking about buying one for a pocket BUG. It's the cutest little gun!

I'll have to look that one up. Don't recollect exactly what those look like. If the hook in the front and have just one screw in the back it's pretty hard to make from a grip without a gun to fit it too.
If you got the feeling you just gotta have it, go for it. I'll handle it (pun intended) one way or another.

I was gonna try and cut that other piece to see if we could do the Colt but decided to deep clean the man cave. I think I made a bad choice.

Bawanna,

Just got in and first thing I did was open the package! Soon as it cools off I'm gonna go out to the shed and get my super fine grades of wet/dry paper and do some additional clean up work. Then tomorrow morning do some polishing. Will post after they get done and on the gun.

Thanks,
MW

Melissa - cool site and really like those red/pink whatever color grips!

Cool. I'm anxious to see how they look after you get done polishing. I don't really have a good polishing set up like I told ya before. If you get have the polish on those that you got on that barbwire stuff it should look pretty nice.
Hope I didn't go further than you wanted me too or not as far.
If it works and I ever try the barbwire I might have to shape em and send em to you for a polish job.
Glad you got out alive again. I think of you down there from time to time.

Mr. B

Thanks for the kind words. I think that you did more than enough as now I don't have to start with the rougher paper .

[Bawanna]

Wow, this thread had about a foot of dust on it, had to go back like 18 pages in the archives to even find it.

I thought I'd reawaken it to show a set of ebony RIA grips I finished FINALLY last night for Eaglefrgs brother. Figured he'd deserve at least a look at em since they are going direct to brother. I'm gradually getting a little bit of whittling time with high hopes of getting more.

For your perusal:









I'm now moving onto a hunk of Buckeye Burl for Melissa's Officer ACP. I hope.
