Some new satin finish desert ironwood burl that I've recently finished.

Awhile (30 minutes) ago, I was speaking with a Mr. Kelly at the Colt Custom Shop. He tells me that I may get my Commander back with the tactical package in February. In discussing the grips he asked me if I had ever seen any in Irish Bog Oak. I have looked at all my links and can't seem to locate any. Any of my COTEP siblings know of any grip makers offering Irish Bog Oak?

All of those are spoken for. Trying to play catch up on previous orders. I doubt I will have any available for the general public until at least April.

Never seen it used for 1911 grips. That's a pretty rare request so I doubt any other grip makers have any in stock. You might email a few and see if they. An source the wood for you.

Olympus, you are a master of your craft. I find myself staring at your creations over and over again. Truly beautiful and unique color options. Its hard to pick my favorite but I really admire those Gray/Ivory Box Elder Burl grips you posted awhile ago.
I know you're swamped and not accepting orders but if you ever get some Black/Ivory Burl in any wood species keep me in mind. I'd love to order a couple pairs.

Thanks Yankee. I can usually order the dyed box elder in those colors. Just email me around April if you haven't found anything by then.
