Show me some cool lookin' carved 1911 grips

[targettarget]

Hey, anyone got some "one-off" type 1911 grips with zombies / flames / skulls carved in them?

Post 'em up!

I'm looking for inspiration for a project. There really isn't anything "one-off" that I've found on either Ebay or Google, just your run of the mill (if you can call it that) exotic wood/synthetics.

Those are very, very nice.

I found these 2 designs on the internet and I love both of them, particularly the dark one with the fantastic skull. I sent this guy an email to see how long it would take to make something like that and how much.

No skulls but I like these I had made for my son

Guy Fawkes, Patron Staint of the Bomb Tech

Guy Fawkes or Guido Fawkes (he adopted the name "Guido"—in which he was indicted—while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries)[1][2] (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606) was a member of a group of Roman Catholic restorationists from England that planned the Gunpowder Plot.[3] The plot's aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I and the entire Protestant and even most of the Catholic aristocracy and nobility were inside. The conspirators saw this as a reaction to systematic discrimination against English Roman Catholics.[4]

Although Robert Catesby led the actual plot, Fawkes was in charge of executing the plan because of his military and explosives experience. Authorities foiled the plot shortly before its final execution, when they captured Fawkes as he guarded the gunpowder. He aroused suspicion by wearing a coat, boots, and spurs, as if he intended to leave quickly.

Fawkes left a lasting mark on history and popular culture. Bonfire Night, held on November 5 in the United Kingdom (and some parts of the Commonwealth), commemorates Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.
