Wanted a "grippier" fore-end and pistol grip area..
Started with the "layout"..
Then made a template out of a pie-pan bottom for the other side..
Then used a Weller battery powered soldering iron with a modified "trocar" point..
The border was done with a Dremel tool, then I used the Stippling tool to create a border and then begin filling in..
At this point I was thinking OMG what have I done..
Still need to do some fill in..but I think it will finish up OK.
