Just finished this set for a client in Louisville. Made of stabilized Maple burl for his full size 1911.

Thanks Garry.
The vibrance of the color on those beautiful grips is intriguing! Like it a lot! Chuck

Thank you Dan. Maple Syrple was a variation of "maple syrup" we used to use with our kids when they were small. On Saturdays we fixed them pancakes and would ask them if they wanted "maple syrple" on their pancakes. LOL
Fantastic grips,maple syrple, lyrics in an old country song,can't remember the name of it.

Thanks Troy. And yea, that's where we got it from. Roger Miller was the singer. Not sure if he wrote it, but he had numerous songs with crazy lyrics.

Thanks, I could hear the song but could not come up with his name which is sad he sings one of my favorite songs that I’ve been listening to since I was knee high to a grasshopper. King of the road.

Yep, that's him.
And now I’m humming it………, or at least the chorus…..

Danged, I miss seeing all those old-timers. Used to see him, Eddie Arnold, Ray Stevens, Kenny Rogers, etc... in a run-down Meat-n-Three a buddy and I used to eat at very frequently because it was close to our office. Was a couple of blocks down the street from Roy Acuff's office and studios. But never did get to see him though.
BTW Curt - Beautiful handles as always!!!
