Re: OT: Ysabel Kid; the Celtic Cross stocks
OD - I agree - the stocks look best on classic designs. Man, that pair on your 1911 looks fantastic! 8) :D If I didn't already have stag grips on my 1911, I would have to get another pair. I have been thinking about adding a few more celtic-design grips to various handguns; just need to replenish t...

8/16/08 My, my; they are nice stocks. Such superb quality and that wood looks like it is ivory. Anyhow, who is Esmeralda? And does she have a web site to enter to look at her products?

Re: OT: Ysabel Kid; the Celtic Cross stocks
Thank you, Griff.
Hobie is correct, Esmeralda lists them as Ivorywood, I had never heard of it until I saw them on her web site. Is American Holly a very lightweight wood? These are extremely light, almost like balsa.

OT: Ysabel Kid; the Celtic Cross stocks
I was going to put them on my Thunder Ranch, which has become my EDC pistol, but they just didn't look right on a "modern" style 1911. They do look right at home on an old Colt though (IMHO). :wink: http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb274/OD1911/CelticCross.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com...
