The heat wave has been brutal here the past few weeks. Temps have been in the low 100s for the past several weeks and I don't even want to know how hot it is inside my workshop (no a/c). But I'm falling behind on inventory and hope to get enough fans going to finish two sets of grips this weekend.

Yep, you've gotta be quick if you want to snag a set before some other people. Those only lasted a few hours before someone bought them. I've got several hundred people hitting the website daily and watching Facebook for new sets of grips.

Thanks Auto.

I've been putting the money towards a stabilizing system so that I can do my own stabilizing and dying like you see on the colored box elder burl grips that I make. Initial investment isn't cheap and nobody wants to share their secrets on the process they use, but I've just about got it figured out.
