Two Military Metals on one set of 1911 grips.

 

     I was contacted by a client who wanted a special Christmas gift for a parent who had been awarded both the the Silver Star and the Purple Heart.    He wanted the medals carved on the pistol grips for a 1911 pistol.     I jumped at the chance to do this work for an American Military Hero.   The grips were shipped to me and I got right to work since this was a Christmas gift and time was a big factor .

     I relief carved the medals into the wood and stained the wood with diluted oil paints.   Then I put several coats of finish over the top.   I mounted it on my own 1911 to see how they looked.   Then I shipped them out to my client.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     I was told that it was a very emotional experience when the grip were mounted on the pistol on Christmas.   I’m glad I could help make it special for the family.
