Unfinished or semi-finished wood grip source?
Ever since we first saw some custom laser engraved stuff for sale, my wife has been bugging me to get a laser engraver. Well, after Christmas, I finally got one, a Laser Pecker 1.0 Professional (hey, I didn't name the thing!)
It's a pretty cool device and unlike some other lasers, that use a table and move the laser around with belts and motors, this one moves the laser with mirrors so it's very small and low powered.
The one drawback is that the max size it can engrave is 92 mm (roughly three inches.)
Anyway, I've been playing with it since I got it, it can basically engrave anything that is in the form of a line drawing or can be converted to a line drawing. This is a small, about 2" diameter, piece of wood to show what it can do:

Now I did "overburn" this one a little bit, so I know I have to experiment with the settings.
But what I was wondering about was if anyone knows of a place that sells gun grip "blanks" or unfinished slabs of wood (either for revolvers or 1911-type semi autos.) I was thinking that it would be cool to custom engrave some grips.
Anyway, if anyone knows of a source, please let me know.
