Nicely done. I figured it was only a matter of time until somebody put a skin on the blank itself.

I glued the skin (with flexible CA)to a sleeve cut from an old piece of fiberglass blank then glued it to the blank with Rod Bond. Coated it with two coats of Glass Coat and used a sterling silver toe ring to break up the transition from the wood grip.
