I have seen this style of grip inlay on several of Bernie Cohen's inlayed grips. He uses it as trim at each end of the grip, and will stick a nice fish inlay in teh center (the particular grip I remember has a YellowFin Tuna on a Blue background)


I really like this look, and will be making several more in various colors for the High Point Show.

Great work on this one. I really like the look as it is without anything in between. If you don't mind me asking, "how long to make?"

To make the pattern it took me 2 1/2 hours, figure another 30 minutes to construct the grips with trim rings & sanding.
