Thanks! Now my client just needs a good pair of leopard skin pants to match!

100% composite cork. Butt is 1/2" of high density rubberized cork, ends of both grips are Lamar Burnt cork, centers are Lamar Copano cork. After turning and final fit to the blank, I put the grips on a wooden dowel and applied 4 very light coats of a satin gel polyurethane. The poly makes them really tough and resistant to just about everything. JP educated me on the finish at the Expo earlier this year. It is a nice upgrade from my old tricks.
