OT, A Traditional Irish Blessing

Post by Doc Hudson »

A Traditional Irish Blessing, turn up the volume to enjoy some grand Celtic music that accompanies it.

DH -

Thank you for posting. With my ancestors being sons of Ireland, that one has special meaning...

I could listen to that music all day long!

MY wife is Irish. She likes to say the only reason God let man have whiskey was to keep the Irish from taking over the world.

Thank you! It brought tears to my eyes thinking of my Irish grandmother, who passed away ten years ago.

Doc, thank you for posting this wonderfully moving blessing. I've been down a bit lately, and this gave me a real spiritual lift. I'm sending it - individually - to family and my true friends.
Thanks again!

I just saw those grips on Exotic Grips by Esmeralda's website. I purchased a set of Hi-Power grips from her earlier this year, made of cocobolo diablo wood, with a celtic design. They are goregous and the workmanship (workwomanship) is fantastic!!!

OD, you need to do us all a favor and post a picture of these once you have them mounted!!! PLEASE! :D

I will do that Sir. :wink:
(I would love to see yours)

I had bought a set of Cocobolo, also with the Celtic high cross.

My best friend saw them and I never had a chance to mount them on a pistol, they look really sharp on his S&W 1911 though. :)

Thanks Doc.

They're made of Ivorywood.
Ivorywood a tropical hardwood resembling ivory.
Ivorywood grows throughout southern Brazil & into parts of Argentina & Paraguay. It is also known as Marfim, a Spanish/Portuguese word for Ivory. The off-white colored hardwood has a density between that of walnut & cocobolo & was formerly made into fine furniture. These days it is more rare and generally only available in smaller lumber sizes.
