SOLD  The Chittam tree (aka American Smoke Tree) produces one of the world's rarest burls. The tree is native to only two areas in the world. One is a band of Limestone in the Southern US (we just happen to live here) and the other is the Sinai Desert. These are "Tornado Wood"....literally. This wood was sucked out of a Limestone boulder by an F2 tornado which struck Huntsville, AL in 1989. A friend found this burl while walking the debris trail and put it aside to dry for 20 years.These have been stabilized, a process which infuses the wood with an acrylic resin which is then heat cured. This creates a product which is still wood, but has added strength, durability and moisture resistance. The figure and chatoyance in this set of grips is truly remarkable. A deep, hand-rubbed finish adds gloss and depth while providing great extra protection. These aren't just "pretty faces"...they are just as suitable for everyday carry as they are for presentation purposes.

SOLD  We started with premium quality, high contrast Desert Ironwood burl and hand-crafted this set of full-frame magwell "Les Baer" cut grips. Then, taking our styling cues from Ma Nature we followed black lines in the burl to delineate the stipple pattern. The result is an organic looking stipple....it appears as if part of the grip has "exfoliated", exposing a roughened surface underneath. This truly stunning set of grips is absolutely unique....Nature guarantees it. There is an added bonus....they feel fantastic in your hand. These are not just pretty faces; they are just as well suited to every day carry as they are to being shown off at your next barbeque. Bragging rights? You win!

SOLD  If you're seeking unique grips with a walk on the wild side, these are for you. The wood is beautifully striped, high-contrast Desert Ironwood burl, renowned for its hardness and durability. We picked out a black line of grain and stippled along it, creating an organic look. The transition from smooth wood to stipple is seamless, making it look like a layer of surface wood came off naturally. They feel great in hand, too. These beauties are equally at home either in a presentation case or on your everyday carry 1911.

SOLD  This set of full size 1911 grips was made from a superbly figured piece of American Black Walnut. The "feather" figure also has some curl, further enhancing the unique beauty of the wood. The colors you see here are all natural...there were no dyes or stains used. The gorgeous color gradient is all  Nature's work, and the resulting pattern looks like a bird (to me, anyway. Your vision may vary :))  We used the figure as a guide for stippling, working around the chatoyant feathers to create an organic pattern. We don't usually name our grips, but these seem to be the "Raptor" set. These are absolutely unique, and are equally at home on your everyday carry 1911 or in a presentation case.
