Jeremy made those out of desert ironwood. He wanted to checker them. I wanted them smooth with some nice grain.
I was able to meet him here in Lubbock to tell him what I wanted with the understanding he had some artistic freedom. I was also able to meet him for lunch at Rudy's to pick it up when he finished it. Very nice guy...and he shoots a lot!
ETA: Those are Spegels on the Burton pistol. I bought it with G10 grips on it, but the build sheet said it had Spegel Kingwood. I called Craig Spegel and talked to him. Nicest man on the planet. Told him my predicament. He said he couldn't get Kingwood any more, but to hold on. He went back and found some Kingwood blanks and I ordered them. Told him I just wanted to get in line and didn't care how long it took. I had them in 30 days. Cost was $65. Amazing.
