Re: Come Into Bawanna's Famous Grip Emporium

I still don't have a CZ75 but it is one of the ones on my want list. I don't know of anyone locally that has one to borrow either.

If I had a positive number bank account I'd go buy one right now and get to whittlin.

I have a P-01 that you can borrow for a month if you wanted to make a bunch of grips for them. As for the bigger pistol, I do not. It is on my short list however.

I generally don't like a checkered backstrap but a fella insisted. It's not bad.
These were new from Kahr. I just slimmed them down and checkered them.

other than looking ery Pink which I know is ur trademark. U did a damn good job. I like a checkered backstrap, more for looks than functionality, but u did a nice job on those grips.

Hint: Try some Birchwood walnut stain. Just sayin

a ported K40, I would bet that is one nice shooter.:59:

I thought about the stain, these usually just get darker with time and handling. Some don't want them too dark so I'm in turmoil as to weather to stain them or not.
I as a rule hate stain. It's like a box of chocolate, ya never know what your gonna get.

I have done some woodworking. I choose the wood to match the look I want and it protect with clear finish. If I wanted to use stain, I'd just use pine.

Great job as always!

Haven't been here for awhile..............
Here's a MK9 set I just did for jgiord. I did the backstrap again as it felt kind of nice on the first set awhile ago. Thought I'd use him as a guinea pig and see if it works. These were from scratch and miraculously they fit his gun but it was a close thing. Still some fitting issues going on.
He indicated he'll be needing some longer screws so I sent him some. I can't comprehend why that would be. Has to be a minor frame variation somewhere.

Looking good from here!

I only done one baby swingy thinga majiggy, done a few pistol grips and a couple knife handles. Actually been checkering a lot of knife handles lately.

Speaking of babies we're waiting. Should be any moment now. Guess she had some contradictions last night but they stopped.
Hope she has it soon. We had to go in after all 3 of ours. I told the doc to put in a zipper instead of stitches. He loved the concept but didn't make it work.

Contradictions... :-). Mrs b4 and I have those all the time. Best wishes.

Praying for you all here.
