Steve K with Reelseatblanks.com was the supplier of the stabilized blanks used. The orange colored wood is stabilized Padauk, and the burl is Black Ash. The wood was easy to work with and has no finish on it, just sanded to 1500 grit and white diamond polish.

Putter, I just got back from my visit with the Doctor. I think that my IQ has increased a couple of points after my visit with Doc (lol). The blank was a little heavier than regular unstabilized wood, but when you take the handle down to the finished size it isn't much heavier than that of burl cork. The nice thing about this product is the finish goes all the way through, if you scratch you can fix it by sanding and buffing it back like new. Terry, Jorge, Ellis, Mark and Putter Thanks for the kind words, I learned a lot about the design and building of a better fitting fly rod grip this last weekend (Thanks to Terry H and a couple of others that I met). Thanks all Mark
