When Noel Spann made me the beautiful Oak (not Dynawood) reel seat, I had to come up with something to compliment it.

Really like the grips. What material did you use between the cork and wood? EVA?

Doug, Hard to miss Noel's seats!!
Jim, Black/Grey fiber automotive gasket material from Auto Zone. Very cheap and works great! Just glue it between the rings and turn/sand with the rest of the grip. Comes in cork sheets also
