That's really, really nice. Excellent job on teh grips, the triangles facing away are all perfectly lined up, te silver trim material, adn teh fish pin inlay. Great way to get things jumping on this challenge.

VERY nice indeed!Really stunning I think.
Is that Laguna burl cork?
What did you use on the grip to get such a glossy finish?

Thanks.
Yes it's mostly Laguna with burnt accents and HT Silver thread trim. The fighting butt is finished with a regular burl ring. It's finished with 3 coats of Thread Master.
