If you want to form the grip to look like mine, you will have to use a dremel tool and work your as$ off to get it formed right. Don't forget to sand the bottom to get the flat effect there. Good luck.
1. Tools you will need. Ruler, preferably a metal one. A scratch all, and a modelers round file with point.
2. This is the grip, unlined and unaltered.
3. Backside measurement from top, 3/8th inch. Make a mark here with the scratch all.

4. Front side measurement from top, 5/8th inch. Make another mark here with the scratch all.

5. Scratch a line across from mark to mark. You decide how long.

6. Make sure to take your time. If you rush you will screw up, trust me. Mark it several times, make the scratch deep. It will help when using the file.

7. Mark next line 1/2 inch down. Spaces between the lines are 1/2 inch for each line.

9. Start to file each line with the sharp tip of the file first.

11. Use side of file now, make the grooves as deep as you nee. Make sure to not file to deep, or you will go thru the other side.

12. Finished grip, ready for paint, or even keep wood grain. It looks good as is.
Hope this helps...
