Photo Details
mark blabaum Registered: June 2006 Location: Southwest - Wisconsin Posts: 1,282	The grip is made of Maple, Walnut, Bocote, Bloodwood and aluminum trim. It's a segmented herringboned, diamond hybrid, commissioned by Owen for his wife Sandy as a surprise. She received the grip via Doc yesterday morning at the Fred Hall show; I can now safely post the picture of the grip. She did say some thing about Doc and I being in trouble for keeping the secret!

Mate your handles are getting too good for fishing rods. I'd mount them on the wall just to look at. Great stuff Mark.
