Some more of what I worked on this weekend, have not completed full grips yet but I will.


Trying to make grips for people which they can match in a butt wrap - Green & White Chevrons, White/Greys/Black Full Quilt, and a couple of 3D Chevrons. For Cork people, I made one to match the color of Lamar's Burl cork, but it looks just as nice in regular cork.


Trying to cover all my bases here.

Sweet. The middle one and the one under that do it for me. Great job.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to have something for everyone. Making these grips available for sale is a major undertaking, I've got so many styles adn colors I want to try out, it just takes an extremely long time to produce these "mass production" style, it makes it tough to get the colors & styles "right". Figure abotu 8 hours to produce each individual style/color combo.

Are your grips for sale yet? These are really cool. I'd be really interested in getting a couple.

Russell, I wanted to wait for High Point to start selling them, but I have sold 3 sets of grips already. I am updating the NERBs website with prices, send me a direct e-mail and I'll get you what you want, and you can provide me with some feedback. vivonab@colsonservices.com
