I think I'm getting better at this. Here are two more sets I made a few days ago.

These are made of black walnut and were cut from a broken M1 Garand stock! Cool huh?

These are made from "Camo wood" we use this on a lot of our knives and I like it.

These are the ones I posted a while back, they were my first attempt at making grips.

thems some very nice grips. would u please tell me how to make grips? because i have mab p-15 that im absolutly in love with. that gun is the most accurate handgun ive owned or shot. its just balanced to me. i cant really explain it no better it just fits my hand. i dont even have to aim it i just point it and hit clay targets at 25 yards. i love every thing about this gun but i have always been a fan of walnut grips. and would love to make my own. wat tools are required?
 
I kinda have an unfair advantage as I work in a knife factory. So I have an entire machine shop at my disposal! :p I'm not really sure how I would do it otherwise. With the tools at work i can make a set of grips in about 20 minutes. Right now I have only made 1911 grips but I am thinking about trying my hand at some Ruger Security-Six grips in cocobolo.
 
Really like those black walnut grips. Very nice.

Ever thought of doing your own grip making commercially? You could do a made-to-order, specialty grip company with skills like these.

Can you make them for S&W models? 686 or 629? I'd also be interested in some for a Ruger GP-101 as well.

Great work and very impressive!
 
I have not tried any revolver grips yet. They will be a little harder to fit properly as the boss won't let me bring my gun in to do any precise fitting. I may soon begin to make a couple sets a week to sell. I have to talk the boss into letting me use the shop after hours one or two nights a week first. We just got a new shipment of broken M1 stocks so the material is plentiful right now. Oh, as a side note these M1 stocks are take-offs from the CMP in Anniston, AL we are just a few miles away.
 
I can understand why it would be more difficult to make revolver grips, as the grips on the 1911 style pistols are pretty straight forward in design.

Keep me posted, like I said those walnut grips are fantastic and I'd really like to get a pair if you do decide to make them for revolvers...keep up the good work.
 
The green grips are what we call "CamoWood", it is various layers of colored wood laminated together. The stag grips are imitation stag, which is cow shin bone with a random jigged pattern to make it look like the real deal. I am trying to find a couple of pieces of Sambar stag that are just right but so far none are wide enough.
 
Do you have to do any work on the back or inside of the grips?
Because that was my bigest problem the first and only time I tryed to make grips for a .22 auto.
 
No, 1911 grips don't require any relief on the inside unless you have an ambi-safety. That is the reason I have not tried any other grips yet. I may get brave soon and try to make some for my Security-Six.
