This is a maple handle that i had for some time. It allmost totaly hand carved. Used some rasps and files in the end. I have this table top oil with harpix in it. So i tried to stabilize it in a marinating machine/tumbler. It soaked up more than i thougth it would. After curing for 10 hrs ive started some sanding. Still a work in progress.

That’s a cool design. Looks easy to grip.

Thank you! Yes, im trying to design for grip comfort this is the last iteration of several designs. As you see it looks a little like my profile picture. that was iteration 3, then i have 4 so this would be 5 i guess. Mostly PFS- shooters.

Nice work and design keep following your intuition it’s a good thing.

I like the design,look's good!

Thanx Royleonard and akajim. Intuition aint allways easy to understand. Alot of studying of other designs has gone into this trying to understand why they work. Then try to test an aspect into my own evolving pfs design. Its fun and rewarding when it works. Often i to back to my original printer 3d design. Its simple and works.

Banded and testshot to day. Works great feels solid with good support in the hand. Need to mod the finger grip section is a wee bit big.

Its done. Sanded to 1200 grit feels like ivory. Modded the finger section. Had to widen the throat to accomodate top slot. It infused with oil and harpix. Made a brass tube for the lanyard Hole.

Looks very nice and of course has character. Bet you can't wait to take it out now it's finished

You have a unique style all you're own and so do I and it's something to be admired.

Ty crypter27 :wave:

ive tested it and it works, feels good in the hand. Took it out to the boat landing in the contryside the other day. Fired at some buoy in the water. 25m very nice even hit one @ 50-75m. Then my son asked me to hit a big one with a big cabin cruiser moored to it. and i punctured the thing and it sank anic: . Had a hard time getting a replacement buoy and row out before it went under, but we managed. Used 9mm steel and a underpowerd band. I guess the plastic was brittle and due for a replacement. What i took home from this is never shoot at airfilled buoys! :nono:
