Default hello..(tap tap) is this thing on???

Most of you guys know i make custom grips .
I'm an easy going guy and like help when I can.
So if anyone want's to make their own, I'm more than willing to share what I know .
Feel free to ask here.
Feel free to "strut your stuff" here too if you made a set



Been making sawdust for fun for years.
I'll post pics of grips from time to time when a set is particularly exceptional to my eye.
But I'm not going to post pics of every set of Ambonia , Afzalia , Cocobolo or Ironwood I make .
just the "special" ones


Today, I'm going to post pics of some of cool gun UNrelated things I've made of the years




my fish display board.
Made of oak and walnut but with a twist...
I did it "old school" style and used very few power tools .
i used salvage material too
(reused some flooring)





my office/den I did after I re-did it
i made the wainscot, chair rail and baseboard





I make this wall grouping of my own design for my office/den
Solid Oak and Walnut








here's the prototype center piece before I made the ones in the above pic
This one hangs in the living room of some friends of ours .
i gave it to them as a house warming gift when they bought their house





some misc shelves in the works and finished sconces







one of my largest pieces .
a custom bar made of solid Oak and Walnut .
My own design built from scratch.
I carried down a bundle of sticks and built it in place .
The carcass is sheeted with solid 3/8" thick Oak bead board .NOT paneling






..L.T.A.

Hey Cap! Good to see you again. I was afraid after John gave me the axe, I wouldn't get to say hey anymore. I had to buy a CBOB and join COTEP before I could talk to you again!

I like the two tone ironwood. I just ordered a big batch of that stuff myself. Looking good like always. I may need to buy a pistol stand from you if you're still making them.
