John, Go to Photos section and under member galleries go to Joe Emig. He has done a reel seat using a woodburner to give a "scales" effect. You may want to contact him. The seat looks pretty cool. Re: woodburning in cork?

I've burned designs in wooden custom landing net handles, but never in cork. I don't see any reason why you couldn't burn in cork if you watched your heat and pressure. I have seen designs 'branded' into cork grips on rods. C2 Re: woodburning in cork?

John, Before you woodburn, look into your local engraving store to find out if they have a laser engraver. My brother owns an engraving store and I have used the laser engraver for many designs on wood/cork/hyperlon/eva etc. It can be costly but the end product is fantastic. The designs and logos etc. are unlimited if you find a good store with a good artist. Coral Draw provides many clipart designs etc. if you want to go that route. Usually they will take your design, scan it into the computer and tweek the design by vectoring so that the design is flawless. The engraveing will be sharp and very definitive. Depth and width of lines is adjustable to get the desired effect. If you need further info on this issue, E-mail me and I will give you more info. P.S. The engraving needs to be done before the cork goes on the rod due to limited length of the engraver printer. Rick Case RodsByRick Re: woodburning in cork?
