Flashdance Designs is a laser engraving shop specializing in custom 1911 pistol grips and personalized wood products. Operating out of Kansas, they handle design-to-delivery work for shooters, collectors, and gift-buyers who want one-of-a-kind pieces.
Their core business centers on AR and full-sized 1911 grips in multiple hardwood options:
Wood Species Available: - Walnut (most common, deep grain) - Cocobolo (rich reddish-brown) - Zebrawood (striped grain pattern) - Boxwood (tight, dense grain) - Maple and curly maple - Bloodwood (deep red) - Redheart and Caribbean walnut - Granadillo, tulipwood, silky oak, holly, Brazilian ebony, bocote
They offer both stock designs and custom engravings:
Most grips feature laser engraving with stippled or patterned backgrounds for detail and grip texture.

They handle both catalog designs and completely custom engravings. Examples in their gallery show personalization capability—baby ornaments with birth weight, length, time of birth; monogrammed bottle openers with custom years; police officer badges on wood.
Their laser work shows clean detail work: fine line work on intricate designs, readable text engravings, and multi-layer depth effects. The wood selection, grain direction, and finishing matter—they test different species for each design's visibility and aesthetic impact.
All products are laser-engraved, meaning no hand carving or relief work—clean, precise, consistent results across production runs.
They operate a Shopify store with product photography, customization options per item, and direct ordering capability.
