Looks like they fit the mag well pretty good. Enough clearance for the thumb safety.....wasn't thinking, I should have put some jewels in. I know you said no checkering, must have thrown me off. That's Honduras Rosewood, pretty stuff. The jeweled grips look good, kind of forgot about those.

Nope, these are just right. Didn't want jewels on this set. So you done good. I wasn't sure what tree these were from so I'm glad you told me. Pretty hard species?

Plenty hard, nice to work with though. My checkering tools are about used up but I might make another set and throw some checkering on them. I think I got enough wood for another set or 2, maybe even 3 if I'm lucky.

Thanks, Jeepster. I always forget to take before and after pictures. Used to do that but now days usually forget.

I found me a piece of glass out in the shop and like most things I sat back (actually I always sit) and thought what I could do with it. So I ended up building me a little display case to hang on the wall. Then of course I had to ponder what to display in it.
That was the easy part.
Today I added a little sticker that jeepster sent me, thought it was a nice touch.

I only have the one half. I made those for a Sgts stepdad back in the day. Great guy only met him once or twice as he lived in California. Gave me a nice target 22 rifle much later. He was into German Shorthairs and the Sgt asked me to make those. Said he actually cried when he got them, either I did a bad job, or he was really happy, not sure which.
Anyhow he passed away a few years back and the family gave me the one half and kept the other half.

Down right purty I'd have to say! Oh, both the display case on the puppy grip.

They are special. Great idea of putting the one you have in the showcase you made. Keeps the guy alive in your memories, looks great, and shows just how good you are with your hands. Great job!
