Anyone ever seen a left handed set of grips for a second series Colt Woodsman? Maybe while you were out riding your unicorn?

Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
Golly Gee Whiz david, those real wood grips look better than any of the Coltwood grips I have ever seen.
Wish I still had my Second Model Sport...

The two thumb rest grips began as blocks. I'm not sure what the current cost is but it use to be that for $18 CALICO hardwoods out of California would send you an 8"X5"X3" (approx) block of pretty nice walnut. I've also made grips for S&W J frame and Ruger Single actions. And I've modified quite a few different grips in some minor ways. If your a lefty you probably know this already. When I shoot a semi auto two handed I stack my thumbs, right thumb on top of left thumb. I also tend to use the top of the grip as a shelf to place my left thumb on. Placing my two thumbs high on the grips puts them right in the way of the extractor and ejection port. Twenty two brass tends to bounce off my thumbs and back into the ejection/loading port causing jams. Not often but more than enough. The thumb rest get my thumbs lower and out of the way. I know absolutely nothing about 3D printing but have been amazed at some of what I've seen printed. I doubt a set of lefty grips for a second series would be out of the question.
