I totally agree Jay! If I tried to do something like that I would end up being another shrink's patient!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments. I will do an update on how it holds up. I mean it seems strong enough and I am playing with a type of clip that would set under the reel foot and help it from splitting out. I will post that if I can make it work. By the way guys this is really not that hard. Thanks again.

Very nice the grip looks like it would feel good in the hand as well. Did you cast the material your self?
