Koa Wood 1911 grips

I paid for these to be made at Pele Signatures a year ago before I left for the mainland, but only now picked them up. These grips are gorgeous. I can't wait to mount them on my 1911. This picture doesn't really do the grips justice. I honestly don't know what grips like this would be worth, but I'm satisfied at $100. You can find Pele Signatures at the Outrigger Waikiki (entrance to the right of parking garage, go up inclined ramp, turn right at top--opposite of Seattle's Best).

Those grips look awesome! did they already know how to make them or did you have to give them a set to copy?

I had to give them some sample grips. I also thought about checkering, but decided my frontstrap and backstrap checkering would suffice and I'm glad I did. This wood has sort of a 3D effect when I move it against the light. The holes were aligned well, but weren't big enough so I'll have to drill them out a little bigger before mounting them.

Also, I don't think my 1911 is worthy of these grips anymore.. These belong on a nice blued GI-style M1911A1.
