I have made a personal logo that i want to have carved in wooden grips, it is composed of the runes used to write my name.The logo is a binding rune. An example of other binding runes is the logo for bluethooth. It is composed of a the runes H and B.

It reads: H A K U N

Does anyone have suggestion of the wood i can get it carved from?
I am thinking of exotic and unusual european wood types.
My favorites so far is: Flamed birch ,and burled birch.

Since you are in Norway, have you heard of Hakan Pek? He makes some incredible grips from a variety of exotic wood. Very nice workmanship, and a great guy to deal with.

I have a set of his 1911 grips made of birdseye amboyna, and they are gorgeous. His website shows a number of different woods, and he will make pretty much whatever you want.

I recently saw this post:

Those grips were so gorgeous, I had to contact Ryan and buy a set. His site is:

Sure are some fine craftsmen out there doing good work. Wish I could afford one of each :)
