This is the side veiw of the grip. The maple is laced with a herringbone pattern. The grip is made with Walnut, Maple, Bloodwood, and Aluminum. The only thing I'm not sure about is the reel seat. I need to dig through my burl box and find a better piece of wood for the reel seat. Thanks Mark.

All you need is a bi gfat diamond in th center, and the rappers will scoop this one up and try to wear it around their neck. This is a really kick ass grip, I love it.

That really is some truly amazing work. I don't even know how to begin something like that. I love the aluminum accents as well. 15 out of 10 for sure. Thanks for posting.

Hi Mark
Extremly nice, I would not change the reel seat, it is a settle look and keeps your focus on the handle, and it is through that not over loaded. I love it the way it is.

Thanks all for the kind words. I like the way this one came together, it's the first try with this pattern, so it surprised me when it turned out. Putter the aluminum is the same material that I've used on other grips, it does look larger though. It may be an optical illusion with the angle around the bloodwood. Thanks again for the kind words Mark.
