Spalted Maple Grips on my Para Carry 9

[K-Man]

Here's a pic of my Para Carry 9 with spalted maple grips:

I'm liking this gun more and more. After I get a few more rounds through it, I plan to make it my primary carry.

Looking good! I assume you made the grips? Where did you get the wood?

tongue oil, poly, hard wax finish?

 

[K-Man]

Yep, I made the grips. I got a couple of slabs off of some guy on fleabay. Was able to bookmatch this set.

You have any of that wood left that you showed me last spring?

I used poly for the finish on these. (Used tung oil on the P238 grips.)

Looks purdy. Good job!!

Nice but I think they would look better on a black gun.

i have almost all of it left (used a set of scales to finish out a kitchen knife a few days ago) but its all worth so little that its not worth the hassle of pricing and shipping. Was that you that sent me the PM's on that a while back? I remember seeing emails about it but i didn't get on here for a few months. Sorry about that.

I'd still be interested in getting a few pieces of what you showed. I'll send you a pm.

Wow thats beautiful, almost makes me want to go and buy me a paper weight(1911) just to get some grips like that

Looks very good! i've played around with making some. For those of you in OKC or Tulsa, the Woodcraft stores have lots of nice wood choices in small or large chunks.
