One of the best looking 1911s I've seen in a long time John. Tell us about those grips?

I have a couple of Foster Industries builds in the works now. That sure sets the bar high for my completed projects. Thanks for sharing.

[Aggie01]

thanks for the compliments, guys.
The grips are carbon creations (as noted in the first post)

[dougader]

I am familiar with Carbon Creations, but your grips look like they're smooth; like there's a layer of epoxy or something over the top of the "checkering." Is this true, or is the lighting messing with my eyes?

[Aggie01]

it appears to be an acrylic layer or prepreg.
it is shapeable and sandable without getting into the substrate.

Very nice. Thanks for the info
