Very clean with straight centers. Well done.
I would have rounded the edges of the grips for a nice transision from grip to blank but that's just me. Others seem to like to leave the shoulders.

Billy actually I did. Is it because of the apoxy on the winding checks. Just curious what would the appearance be that would indicate a wrap after the grips had been glued? The foregrip wrap was done after.
It was a "reel" tough decision as I was torn to do just that. I compromised with ajust a radius. Guys I sure appreciate the comments. Getting the two wraps aligned with each other got a little nutso.
