A recent set made for Scott in Illinois. A book match set made of Desert Ironwood for his 1911 Officer model.
Desert Ironwood for an officer.

have you ever talked to any of your customers a few years after sending them their beautiful grips to see how they are holding up?? I ask as here in Arizona, when there is sapwood with Ironwood, bugs usually have a day with the sapwood within 6 months. Thousands of little holes.......... Jerry (in Tucson)
Does it matter what kind of finish is applied? Had no idea that the ironwood sapwood was that vulnerable (or delicious?).
Thanks,
G
Love em. Love that DIW

No I haven't Jerry. But, I don't think there's gonna be any Arizona bugs in Pittsburgh or anywhere else in the midwest or east coast. But thanks for the interest.

Thanks Chuck. Shop completed yet?
Getting real close. More bathroom work to complete, but I‘ve now started organizing. Wood is almost in place, equipment next, then supplies. I’ve been distracted a bit with travel, and now cleanup after the ice storm took down a ton of branches in our yard. Another month or so and I should be up & running. Chuck
