White / Ivory grips? (Maybe Holly?)

[pedzola]

Hello Mr. Hakan,

I've spent a few days searching the web for ivory-looking grips for my new CZ75B in Bright Stainless.

I haven't been able to find anyone who makes anything like it.

Do you have any sort of imitation ivory polymer that you could make grips from?  Or maybe American Holly?  I've never seen Holly in person but from what I've read it has a very dense grain and a uniform ivory color.

Please let me know what you think... if this project is possible.


Thanks.

Just to give a visual, I wanted to add a picture.  This is the look I'm going for, except of course without the texas star, and it's a CZ75B instead of a Colt.



Picture is not my gun - found it on Google.

Thanks.

Hello sir,

This is how the American Hollwood looks like;



It looks pretty close to Ivory when finished. Bad news is that I don't carry this wood in my stock. This set was made from the scales that customer had sent. If you like to do the same sir, I'd be glad to help you out with this project.

Please e mail me at   hakanpek@online.no  for the further discussion regarding the project.


Looking forward to hearing from you.


Regards,


Hakan.

Thank you, I'll do some research and see if I can find some blanks/scales that seem like what im looking for.

it's not wood, but I've seen some top notch knife handles made out of Corian countertop scraps
