Very nice and clean looking.

Is the main part of the grip some kind of burl cork?If so,would you mind sharing the source?

I'm not sure if I have ever seen that kind of burl cork before,if that is what it is.It looks very light in color with a nice tight grain to it.

I'll be interested to see it in a year or so given that cherry usually darkens. Give a whole different look.

UV effects the wood even with a finish. I have a couple of cedar grips that started off almost purple then fade to a reddish brown. The grip is very nice, with some very attractive lines. The darkening will accent the grip in a couple of years.
