Nice! I had a Leopard wood sneaky pete back in the day. Lot folks admired that stick; one finally made me an offer I liked and it left the fold. I'd like to think it's still in play somewhere. Thanks for sharing Bawanna's fine work on your good looking pistol (Para?).

Just to save those poor ignorant souls that don't know. Perhaps you could expand on exactly what a "sneaky pete" is.

I of course am an expert on "sneaky pete's" but since you started it I'll let you explain.

Did I make that sound like I really knew what the heck a "sneaky pete" is?

You know how I hate to feel stooopid.

Nice club, I used to have a 21oz Dufferin Zodiac, that I shot competitively with. I sold it after I trashed my shoulder and couldn't get down on the table any more. I never could learn to shoot from on top of the table, and now my game is long shot, even though I had the shoulder fixed after 7 1/2 years. Had a buddy that had a slightly illegal (too heavy and weighted in the back) Adams. That guy had a propensity for a hard break, and for breaking lights. I do miss that though.

Well, I was scratching my head trying to figure out how a Sneaky Pete could be referred to as a stick, seeing as how I had just been looking at the Sneaky Pete PDA Case Holster for small guns.

Sneaky Pete

Just in case you didn't know or forgot............a sneaky pete is a pool cue

Of course I knew, I just wanted to see if anybody else did.

Where have I been all my life not to know what a sneaky pete is.

This is the stoopidest I've felt in, heck at least a couple hours. Course I been inhaling Coco Bolo dust all day checkering on some Hi Power grips and haven't talked to nobody so stoopid don't really show ya know.

Cocobolo will make you forget about google

When all else fails, Google is your friend.

Another set fresh off the press.

Just finished whittling this set out of ebony for another member here. For his father in laws birthday.
Thought I'd run them by quality control prior to sending them off.

Last shred of ebony put to good use. Had a big piece but found cracks all through it so lots of inlays perhaps but no grips.

For your viewing pleasure:

Beautiful!!! Great job!!!

Bawanna...you are the man! Thank you very much. This will be my step-father's best birthday present every, because of your help with the personal touch on his first 1911.

[Markis82]

They are just beautiful!

[itsthelaw]

I cannot stop looking at them. I will post a pic of the gun with the grips when I have them. Again, thanks!

This is one of the reasons I love forums like this. Each one has it's own group of artisans who show their work. As a guy who has gutted and renovated three houses, doing all the trim work myself, I can seriously appreciate the detail in your work. Very nice.

Now, you didn't buy that ebony from India, did you?

MW surveyor, some of the most gorgeous guitars I've ever seen, not including Brazilian Rosewood, had Cocobolo backs and sides.

OMG Boss, those are gorgeous!! You are an artist!
Well done!

I have done that myself on 5 houses. I did everything from plumbing & electric to finish carpentry and painting. I was the general contractor and I was all the subs. So, I always showed up for myself, on time too. . If you want something done right you need to do EVERYTHING yourself!
