Mark Fisher Registered: March 2005 Location: Broken Hill, N.S.W, Australia Posts: 1,715	Fore grip and rear grips done by Paul Kneller in Tulip Rosewood. Not shown at this stage (more work to do yet) but the trigger seat is Wenge wood and set up as a split grip. Paul does absolutely stunning handles.I am attempting to compliment the woods with the threads and blank colour.

Thanks Don. The wrapper is home made and I've used it for about 10 years now. I don't use a thread carriage. All my wraps are done by hand and a little masking tape. I use a micro-wave oven motor as my power source for the rod drying rottisserie. With base, angle and rollers, all up cost about $30.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Terry you are right, it does come up a lot better after clicking on the image to magnify it.

Thanks Putter. This is the one I emailed you about just before Christmas. Still have some work on the split grip and guides. May even try that Moire wrap!
