Those look very nice
I make 1911 grips (and other styles), if you haven't found anyone to make you a set I'm willing to work with you on a custom set. I can do them smooth or checkered. I am in KY, just east of Louisville. Below are some examples of some recent grips and a checkered set out of Afromosia. I generally finish the grips with multiple coats of Tru-oil.
Thanks,

Do you have a store that you sell your grips through?
I had a set of custom grips made for one of my 1911 builds Allen did. If you email Ron, he can let you know what blanks he has available and will email you pictures of what the woods look like. He can duplicate the Wilson starburst pattern and add logos to the grip panels as well. He is easy to work with and will even do a 3D rendering of what your grips will look like before he cuts them. He has a sub-forum on 1911forum.com and showcases a lot of his work there.

Last I read he is on a 12 month wait. I got in the queue when it was only 10 months.
When I ordered my set... The ones pictured on the website that have the sunburst pattern and the caspian logo... The wait was about 30-45 days. My grips ran about $125 with shipping.
Mine were made from Pao Ferro.Price and time frame for your grips sounds reasonable, what kind of wood did you get?
