I recently ordered and received the walnut grips for my Witness .45. They look good, but I like the look of the Coco Bolo on the flat black rather than the plain walnut brown.
I looked at the grips, and thought I could make some myself. The frame of the pistol doesn't have any action work contained within it(except for the mag release button). I think I can find some wood to my liking, get it cut, and fire up the Dremel on it. I know the measurements are tight and need to be precise, but I think I can do it. I am considering it my next project.
Have any of you guys ever tried this before?
What about treating the wood when it is completed?
Any thoughts/comments please.
Mike
