OT: Ysabel Kid; the Celtic Cross stocks

[OD*]

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).

[Hobie]

You did have to post them over here, didn't you Dan? Now I'll be forced to see them everytime somebody posts a reply to gush over them (and probably mention Esmeralda's attractive appearance as well). Then I'll be forced to dream about the stocks and end up buying a pair for one of my 1911s or worse yet a new 1911 just for the stocks... You devil you!



They ARE nice!

[O.S.O.K.]

Well, those are really nice.

I recently saw something very intersting in a sportsman's guide flyer - they have genuine stag 1911 grips for $76 or less if you're a buyer's club member. That's very low for genuine stag....

[Andrew]

Very nice looking contrast.

No, they're VERY NICE!!! Is that American Holly?

I think they called it "ivorywood" on the 1911 forum which could be the holly.

Thanks, Hobie.

Do you have a blued 1911? You really need a blue 1911, no really, you do.

[OD*]

Thank you, Andrew.

You're welcome, and thank you, Chris.

[Hobie]

Thanks, Hobie.

My Combat Commander will have to do for now...

[OD*]

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.

Thanks, Hobie.

Yeah, that might work, they probably would look very good on your Combat Commander.

Here is a BTT for ya just to help you out with the drooling. Those are nice she does some awesome work.

OD -

I agree - the stocks look best on classic designs. Man, that pair on your 1911 looks fantastic! 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 the funds first!

Congratulations!!!

And more for you guys to drool over:



And yes Hobie, Esmeralda is just as fine as the grips she makes!!!

[Rick]

You fellows trying to make me spend money? Those are really nice!

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?

If anyone knows, please post here and let me (and, perhaps others) know.

Thank you,
