Thanks for looking

1911 Wall hangings

I am in the process of making a bunch of large 1911 wall plaques. These will be made from Cherry and Walnut mainly. Sizes will be 12 inch, 18 inch, 24 inch, and 30 inch versions. You can pick from either left or right side. If you order both I will work you a deal.
 
This one is the first of the 12 inchers and is spoken for. It is made from cherry. I will post up finished pictures here very soon. I wanted to share the in process pictures.
 
This needs finish sanding yet around the grips, trigger etc. and on all faces but those will follow soon.
