A Christmas present with a plain burl cork grip. The cherry burl is a stabilized piece from Reelseatblanks.com and has some great figure. The finish on the seat is CA over the stabilized insert.

I wanna see that rear split area! Did you do something different there or is what I see a photographic illusion?

Thanks all for the kind words. Ray there's a tiger wrap between the split grips. This one fought me tooth and nail, I switched over to threadmaster light and it really wanted to wick up the grip and left me with a bulge in the finish. I'll try to get a better picture posted of the tiger. Thanks again all for the kind words. Mark
