I have a customer who wants a wooden foregrip with a trout inlay. Anyone know where I can get one. Tried Mudhole but they are out of the trout and haven't found them in any other cataglos or web sites.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Lee,
Try a search on @#$%& for pewter fish pins.I used to see these on a regular basis.Just grind the pin off and use a Dremel tool to cut away inside the outline,traced on a wood foregrip.You will have to make your own or get a local woodworker to do the grip for you.
You might try Bass Pro or some other similar retail outlets for the pins.Each year at the "sportsman shows" here in Denver,I see some vendors with these pewter pins and many have been coated with colored enamels.Some of the retail stores in your area may carry them.One can always scour various Army/Navy surplus stores for various Military insignia and other pins to use as well.Let your imagination go.....These would make for an interesting variation of an existing idea.
Personally,I would rather make my own by inlaying it in cork,wood,or EVA foam.While it is an "interesting" idea,I am turned off by the idea of a wood veneer over PVC pipe,with the inlay as part of that.Next thing you know,they will start taking shortcuts by using woodgrain Contact Paper. LOL
Best wishes. Chuck

Lee...go to bassproshop.com and look up stock #38-953-513-05.That would look better than the plain pewter any day! Let us know what you try and how it works out.
