Custom Ebony Handgrips for KWA 1911

[Infidel]

Went to AONW a week back and bought a KWA Mark II 1911, beautiful gun but the plastic-feeling grips left something to be desired. So I headed over to Woodcrafters of Portland, picked up a small turning block of ebony and went to work:


Right Grip Rough Cut:



Right Grip Sanded, Detailed, and Lacquered:



Same Treatment for the Left Grip:



Finished and Installed on the Gun:



I still have a little bit of polishing to do, but it looks beautiful, let me know if any of you guys are interested, I might make more sets for the right price

I That grip

[Limpy]

That is fantastic. Do want.

[Prophet]

Damn, Infidel, that is sexy.

[Snowman]

I think it'd look better on a black 1911, but it is hawt nonetheless.

[Eyes On]

Nice

[graham.]

Pretty...

Who say's diamonds are a girl's best friend? I'd rather have that bling right there.

[FunkyDoucheMan]

That is awesome, you should sell those in different styles of wood/color. That ebony grip is great though!

[dom186]

What sandpaper grit are they sanded down to?

[Infidel]

220 I believe, but I finished it up with steel wool. I gave a the wood a "lived in" look, thus the imperfections.

[Shiloh]

Wow, that looks incredible! Not sure how I'm liking it on the tan body, but still amazing!

I've actually been wanting to do something like this when I get my 1911.
