    Default Pistol grips

    A client of mine asked me for a matching set of pistol grips to fit his pair of pistols. He supplied me with an existing set so I could use the probe to scan them into the program. After a little tweaking and playing with the program, this is what I ended up making carved out of Hard Maple. He will share more pictures with me after he gets them finished.

    Pistol grips are more difficult than meets the eye. Especially getting the mounting holes aligned. You did an outstanding job and I'm anxious to see the finished results.

    Great job on the grips. The probe can sure pick up detail. I am glad they came out so well....
