Thanks guys for the kind words. When I made the blank I ran it long enough that I got six grips from one blank. I'll try to post the rough blank when I get a chance. Thanks again Mark.

Thanks Vlad and Paul. Paul I should have read your post before I posted on the blank. I was thinking that it would make a great EVA grip and was hoping some one would run with it. I'm sure you can figure it out, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me. Mark
