My new grips! I'm no Haken, but I think they came out OK.
« on: March 03, 2009, 03:33:30 PM »
Like I said in the title, I'm no Haken, but... 

I decided to try making my own grips for my beloved 75B.  I picked out a wood called Lacewood.  I had never used it in any project, but I was hoping it would look good when the grips were done.  Not the easiest grips to make a pattern for.  By the time I was done, I realized just how much of an artist people like Haken and Omega are.  Just thought I would share and see what you guys thought.

Don't be so modest...those grips look fantastic.  I especially like the fact that they are asymmetrical...that really makes them very personal.  Next set of grips that you make - and as soon as your friends see these you will be making more  ;D  - try taking pics throughout the process.  It would be fun to see the whole thing from beginning to end.

Congratulations!

Thank you for the kind words.  I appreciate it. 

I am debating on taking the thumb rest portion off the one side.  I figure I'll try them out for a while and see what I think after some range time.
