Hey Major, absolutely on adding it.
Ha Capt. When you draw 4 aces, yeah you probably ought to buy the drinks.
Hi Prof. yes, the flexibility is great. That grip is one from an 1860 colt I have a synthetic ivory grip on. They are perhaps the best grained/figured of any I have. It was with some hesitation that I started carving on it to put the spade on both sides. First stripping, then sketching, then using the dremel on both sides, inlaying the copper wire and finally the most personal touch of all, the dark filling is a finely ground French roast mixed with epoxy. Nothing like the smell of a coffee house while sanding the grips. All I needed was a poetry reading in the garage and it would have been set.
