This was a rush effort. A lot can be learned from the experience. The next set will be better.

  Nice work!  I'd like to have the patience to make my own but alas, that's not present.  Next set soon?

If that's rushed, just think what they'd look like if you took your time! Those look great to me!

Nice!


I had a friend send me some "partially fitted" grips made from American Holly.  By the time I finished them they were "wood stove fodder"....   ::)


I'll stick with "fitting" metal parts...........

Looks pretty good for a first try on SA grips.   Couple of bobbles stand out, but still serviceable and nice enough wood.    For those who haven't taken the SA plunge, you have to have taken it yourself to understand they are not a gimmee.    With your track record on the TC's you'll be a natural David.
 
I had David Wayland make all of mine the last 20 odd years.   He's long out of the game though, so it's nice to see somebody else getting into them.
