I have finished another grip from this bunch of blanks [ link ] , this is from the upper right hand blank. The cork is bulletin board cork with aluminum, imitation ivory and walnut for trim. The finish is Helmsman Spar Urethane.

Mark,


Just awesome. Thanks for all your feedback. You and Billy should really consider a book or even an occasional article in Rodbuilder on various techniques or handles to help people start to get a better understanding.
Thx!
