Got a day to work in my shop

[hanau]

After 2 weeks of work finally got a day off to play in my shop.
Thought I would share a couple of photos.

I have been working on making grips here is my second set that i completed.

Cocobolo with a lacquer finished , then buffed out on a buffing wheel.

First completed set are laying in the front on the felt.

after making them decided I need to make a stand so I would quit laying it down on the table getting sawdust all over it.

Thanks for looking

John

Great job. This is one of my next projects to make a set of grips for my Ruger MKII

I like what you stand for, and nice work.

Nice work on the grips. Very clean like the 45. Looking at the stand you must have or have access to a laser engraver. I can think of all kinds of things you could engrave on the grips.

Thanks everyone,
Boz, i have a carvwright that i did the lettering with. I would like a laser but can afford to buy a name brand.
I have looked at the full spectrum laser line and don't know if it would be worth buying it or not.

What size pieces do you need for the grips?

What size pieces do you need for the grips?

About 2x5x7/16 when you get done the thickest part is about 1/4 in thick

I have some nice quarter-sawn Irish Bog Oak that would look slick on that. Send me your address.

Thanks Keith, I will post pictures when I get them made.
