The handle and grip
Again I shaped the handle from Walnut, then cut out two pieces of cork sheet, which were the same shape as the wooden handle, but approx 5mm smaller all the way around.

I then covered these pieces of cork with thin garment leather, a nice brown colour that complements the Walnut.

The next thing was to cut a recess into the handle to accommodate the cork and leather grips.

The grips were then attached to the handle with contact adhesive.

Then the handle and the rest of the pistol body were doweled, glued and clamped.
