How in the world did you carve something like that.  It's impressive.

Yup I have the gunslinger in mine for the auto, they have all sorts of wood species and nice people too.(from my experience)

I bought my set from gunslinger with Tom at Carlisle last year - and like was said if you can catch them in person they will let you pick from all the different grains.

The lady was super nice but a bit of a nut, I had picked mine out but she insisted I see them all and started opening them all up, like a dozen different ones! That's customer service  :smilielol:

Hey, she did the same for me when I bought mine too.  I got a sweet toy for one of my boys from them too, they threw it in to make the sale.

I used an inch thick each side.  It's a little thicker than stock but I like the feel.  I used wood dowels and glue in place of screws so  it would look cleaner.

I thought maybe I'll be making another for my 71 Hemi cuda that's being completed.

That is very cool - it's one thing to put on a product you bought but even a better feeling making your own end product  :2thumbs:
