My Tiger-Maple Grips

Hey i decided to make my first set of grips for my 98 custom. I just bought my gun two weeks ago and this is my first 'upgrade'. I added a black strip on each side for looks....... I plan to make more grips, and even try to make wrap around grips.

How did I do?

I do plan to cover the grips with several coats of clear urethane. I just haven't had time yet

Re: My Tiger-Maple Grips

Nice job on the grips. Do you wear gloves? I'm asking because if you don't you may have a problem with the urethane comming off. Still nice work and I like the unique strip too.
