Looks good. Finish it the way YOU like. Me, I like a bit bigger palm grip and a small or no foregrip but again, that me and its not my rod.

Some blue winding checks or small hossels would be way cool IMHO!

On second thought, the same brown to match the seat might be better.

Thanks guys, means a lot coming for you. Raymond, I really wish I had put winding checks on but now that it's glued up I have to thing of something else. Ant suggestions would be most welcome.

You have a tight fit on the cork so a check(s) are not needed except for looks.
Nice fitting!
Colored epoxy ramps or thread ramps look really good and are not hard to do.
