Stipple my gripple - The stippling emporium

This looks awesome @E21A!

Thread needs to be re-titled "E21A's Stipplin' Workshop" ! :D  

 
Some very nice work.

Are you using a soldering iron or wood burner?

Where do you get your tips from?

I'm partial to the conventional very small dot stippling myself, and have been thinking of giving it a go, so advice on tools would be much appreciated.

I’m using a wood burner with tips from OT defence. Small dot can be easily done with a soldering iron though. 
 

The actual stippling isn’t really too difficult,(depending on pattern), it’s the prep work that’s the hard bit.

Thanks for the reply.

I wasn't anticipating preparation being a problem, since the grip I want to do is smooth and ready for stippling.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks again.

You’ll want to cut a border in and recess it as it looks a bit odd without one. 
 

Having said that if you’re not bothered by that then yea, it’ll be an easy job 

 
This is great stuff @E21A - you really ought to consider changing the thread title to entice more people in :)  

 
I dont get it. I really don't see the appeal. Not saying your work isnt good, which I dont have a clue if it is or not, but I just dont see why you would want this

People like the way it looks. Also gives extra grip. It’s pretty common in real steel (polymer) pistols in the states.
