Making 1911 grips from poplar burl
I took a piece of available poplar burl from Dictum and wanted to turn it into 1911 grips that would look handy on a Ruger or a Walther Colt Gold Cup. Poplar turned out quite soft and the result wasn’t exactly what I wanted because of that. But it’s still nice as a proof of concept. Next thing to try is to resin stabilize the wood before the processing.
