New Custom Grips on my Wilson

[OKCShooter]

Wife bought these for me as a 5 year Anniversary gift...had to show them off.

They are a one-off set made from pieces of fossilized Mammoth Ivory. Multi-colored pieces were laid in epoxy and shaped. Initially I was looking for Ivory, but didn't want anything too white, as my Wilson is Armor-Tuff coated and I didn't want a stark set of grips, I wanted something with 'life' in them...

I found these and Wifey made them a gift - I had to show them off!

Here they are up close...(and yes, my Wilson is a Round-butt)

Cool! I really like the Mammoth ivory. Have you ever seen the mammoth tooth?...

I think these would look cool on your Wilson for your next anniversary...

No... these aren't.

These are made by a guy I talk to frequently... and he is simply, amazing. A true craftsman with 1911 grips, and wood in general.

There's nothing fake about Sarge...

Forgot to do this... I'll do it tonight when I get home. I don't make any, but I know of a guy who is REALLY talented... he may even have some of the ivory we were talking about before.
