Very nice! I like those a lot!
When I had my 1911, I played with making grips out of cloth, never did much with it though...
Copy and paste from quite a few posts from Jan 2012.

More to come soon!
I am going to take them to work and see what I can come up with, Ether I will file some grooves into it or I will have my wife cut something into them.
Shaping around the plunger spring housing took a little work, But I finally got it to fit good.
Here is one of the three being cut out from the previous post.
As you can see this one is red and tan.
The polyurethane is still drying, That is the white stuff.
I will be keeping this set, When I was drilling the hole for the screw, The bit grabbed the grip and drilled all the way through it, So there isn't any ledge for the screw to hold it tight, c'est la vie...
I have a couple coats of Poly on them, I may do more, My wife liked them as is, So I didnt do any of the extra cutting.
This second is merely an experiment ...
The Poly didn't take very well in the cutouts :-[
