14" butt grip, 9" foregrip. Exactly what I was hoping for when I started working on this last Thursday, lol.

Another masterpiece, Billy. I really like the way you bracketed the inlay on this one.

Thanks Ken, only problem is the foregrip inlay isn't perfectly straight.

Honestly, I like the fact that the foregrip inlay is off axis. I think it makes the bass look more life-like and natural or maybe gives the appearance of movement. Something about it gives it more depth than the rear grip

That's a small price to pay for such great inlays. Great job!
