COTEP Scrimshawed Grips or What Ever You Want

[MajO]

I'm In.

If I read these posts correctly, the grips would have a Nude wearing the COTEP insignia on one grip, and, to scare away evil spirits, 's likeness on the other one. I guess the material would need to be brass to keep from warping.

All humor (or lack thereof) aside, I am interested, but need to figure out what my next pistol will be, in order to get the correct size grips.

I'm just being a smart a___. My medication is probably wearing off. When I figure out what my next project is, I will probably send Jason a pm. As usual on this site, it seems to be quite a good deal.

O.K. I think am in.

I have a pair of Tru Ivory grips that I just took off my CCO do to them feeling slick. I was going to sell them but now I may not.

With this give me a lot more grip then the smooth surface I have now?

Would the design go longways on the grip?

Thanks

Ehhh, unfortunately, I'd have to say it wouldn't be enough to add to the "grippiness" of the stocks. You'd be able to feel it if you rubbed your finger across the artwork, but I don't think it would make much of a difference in the feel when you used your weapon.

I can do it either way, so if you're still interested, let me know when I send pm's out.

I'm IN; I have a set of black Ebony that would look great with white COTEP on them.

I had thought about scrimshawing my ivory grips, but went with a medallion instead. I'm familiar with scrimshaw having lived in an old whaling community all my life (Moby Dick's New Bedford). The question I have is, if it's a daily carry gun, won't the ink have a tendancy to wear away? I've seen older scrimshaw that has eroded from heavy use.

It might, depending on the amount of use. I try to make the etching fairly deep to prevent that, though. I recommend rubbing some Renaissance Wax (Brownell's sells it) on them from time to time to help preserve the artwork if they're going to see a lot of use. You shouldn't have to "baby" them though.

Ok guys. School ended for me last week, and I am about to get started on these COTEP logo grips. I will be doing them in the order that folks posted their "I'm in," so be expecting a pm from me in the next few weeks if you posted such a comment in the thread. If you want a custom design, keep in mind I may or may not have to charge more, depending on how much more complicated (ie time consuming) the design is, but I'm reasonable, and will discuss design ideas with you via pm if you have questions.

If you want to see some other scrimshaw to give you an idea of what it looks like, take a look at this thread.

Take care guys,
Jason

Maybe he can scrimshaw some checkering for you.
