Whoda thunk it?!! Nice job! Santa only has elves but you have 'dillos and they are getting pretty crafty.

Hugh, The Maestro stricks again! If you can't brag, who can? Excellent restoration work. I have done similar work with broken rifle stocks. It ain't easy to do.

Hi Hugh,
Just curious...for the missing pieces/chips of wood in the "before" condition, do you add wood from other grips, wood from another source, or do you build up the missing sections with wood composite products...? Is there a chance you can post back-side photos ? Not your back-side, of course... |

Oh, yes! In the name of all that's good and true, spare us that! What can I add to what has been said already? It's outstanding work. |

Pete,
Here's the backside ADMIN: Hugh, you'll get us in trouble with the conservatives OOPS! wrong picture! boy, talk about an effective decoy! Sorry, Pete, they have already been mailed back to the customer. I use pieces from old original grips and try to match the type and grain of wood as closely as possible.
