I went down last night to do the foregrip, and came up with another 10 hour idea. Teh rod will be completed in time for the season to be over, lol.

Work is slow today... so I decided that I'll add a Rose bud or 2 in the butt grip (along with this same Rose inlay), and some grass around the bottom of the grip. I might even wrap the vines around each other. Thanks jorge & Ray.
