Thanks! It was my first try with making a custom handle scale. :slight_smile:

Nice work! What kind of wood is that? Some variety of Rosewood?

Thank you! :slight_smile: It’s kwila. Usually they use it for flooring.

You should get into pistol scales. I bought a few Cocobolo scales for a ‘Colt’ Norinco 1911A1 and the guy had a cottage industry selling them on Ebay and using all sorts of nice woods.

He wasn’t great at packing them, but I have a couple here.

Those scales have a nice pattern too. :+1:

I stumbled upon this piece of kwila in the garage of a good friend of mine. That inspired the whole project. Fortunately I enjoy working with wood.

You’re in the EU, so I don’t know what red tape you’d have to possibly jump through and I don’t know how many of you guys actually own handguns and even 1911s, but gun guys like to play ‘dress up’ like any other group and I think that I was paying $30-$40 for a set of scales shipped, depending on the wood used.

Walnut, Cocobolo, Ebony, Zebrawood, the sky’s the limit. Get yourself some quick jigs made up and ‘retire early, making 20%’.

Ok, if I start my business I will send my first pair of scales to you for testing. :slight_smile:
