Keith worked in Machine Shops as a Screw Maker most of his adult life migrating to General Motors, leaving them last year to persue his love of firearms, namely carving grips for Smith and Wesson handguns.
All of the checkering, shaping, sanding, and many other aspects of his excellent craftsmanship is accomplished with hand tools. Roughing out of the wood pieces is done with power tools.
Keith has developed calculations taken from the shape of your hand. The order blank contains areas for you to include important information necessary to make custom grips for you including space on the back for a drawing of your hand.
Carving wood or any other material requires a keen eye and artistic ability. Selecting wood with the proper grain and color for a particular style of gun, oil or lacquer finish that makes the entire piece flow into a remarkable work of art and function. That is what you get when you order product from Keith Brown.
Just ask any of the many folks that own a piece of his work.
