A guy here at work has gotten me the stretchy bungee cord. I'm looking for a source. Don't use much but I like to have some around.

Some marine supply houses and stores like REI usually have it as well.

Oops, I see I'm late with my suggestions

A guy here pointed me to a semi local place Seattle Fabric that has all kinds of stuff, webbing, this bungee stuff, canvas, on and on with tons of remnants.
He says bungee cord also called shock cord is not all created equal and this place has the good stuff.

It's close to the hub bub of the city but I know where it is and as long as I can get in and out before dark, I should be ok.

Same guy also says he has some so maybe don't need to go anytime soon.

I do like the set up, holds the sheath in close but has a little flexibility when you move or if you catch on something.

Some do similarly with mag pouches etc.

Thanks much for your help and links, you guys rock.

Nice work Bawanna
Is that a 10x Unertl?
Regards,
Greg

Sorry Greg, missed this post, it's a 12x Unertl.

Hurt nearly as bad as the rifle to purchase but I had to have it. Hunted a long time to find one.

[Bawanna]

For you viewing pleasure, a set of 1911 full size, full thickness fresh off the bench.

This is Franquette which is a strain of Walnut I picked up a few months back. just enough for one set.

If they sing to anybody let me know, they are unspoken for. I may have to adjust for extended thumb safety, ambi safety and such.

Thought about a little bling along the smooth diagonal strip but sometimes I'm better off to leave well enough alone ya know.








Wife not included.....at least not today.

Those are beauties. I really like that pattern.

[Bawanna]

Some Black Ash Burl dyed Red stabilized for a Ruger MKII, think they fit MKI too but have to verify that.







Pictures look pink but wife says they are not pink at all. Brown/Red. Sometimes camera speak with forked tongue.

hell

Ho hum awesome as usual. jocko wants some pink grips for his K9.

those aren't pink grips.. as soon as I learn how to photo and pastesh!t, I will photo the pink pink pink grips the colonel did for my model 60. they are certainly one of a kind (thank God for that)

I have a fruit cake neighbor down the street (he rides a honder to) that I showed um to a while back and he wants um realy bad. I am thinkin maybe the colonel stumbled on to sumpin here when he did those grips in pink. I think there is a "SPECIAL" market maybe for PINK grips.

Not sure how the colonel would adverrtise this work but I am sure I could come up with the correct lingo to help him make alot of sales.

Probably will now start seein the colonels ad in the RAINBOW MAGAZINE.Just sayin

[Bawanna]

Do I want to know what a Rainbow magazine is?

I think if you ever learn to post a picture, I'll just keel right over and faint.

How long have I been waiting to see a picture of that fully engraved model 60 that you left me in your will? Long, long time.

[jocko]

the rainbow magazine is an upscale gay magazine, that is owned by its parent company called. Fruitcake Inc.

I heard their headquarters is in Seattle, wash. I could be off on that city, It might been Monroe.

Bawanna,

Not sure about Jocko and the "rainbow thing"...but I will be sending you some tracings re: my recently bobtailed and melted 1911. I will peruse this thread and see what wood strikes my fancy. I am thinking a black/greyish figured wood somethingorother.

He would probably need a different picture in the background though ... just saying.

Probably don't need a tracing. I do bobtails.

Operators are standing by.

[quikduk]

Got it. My bobtail is a little more extreme and I have done some additional radiusing. I have been browsing this thread and like way too many of your options. I would even entertain modifying a set that you haven't sold yet. I like the hippo tooth (teeth?) as well as the buckeye burl, really figured woods etc.

I am refinishing the frame in satin silver with the slide and all controls, bobtail, beavertail etc. in satin black. I will use stainless hex screws for the grips.

Post some of your remaining grips or ideas and I'll hopefully make a decision. Oh, I was also thinking about the half checkering and a thumb safety finger groove like on the (GASP!) VZ grips. Nothing overstated or too wide.
