"Putter's palette" = completed handle ready for Charlotte

Posted the last two photos of the handle assembly for Putter's marble demo. Assembly (from butt)
Black EVA ; 2 cork rings; blue hypalon ring, one cork ring, blue hypalon, one cork ring/one hypalon slice,
4 cork rings, grey EVA slice then American tackle blue ring/grey body reel seat and opposite to "palette
area". The base for the marble demo is two part lite build American Tackle epoxy mixed with Pro-Tec
powder paint used for jig heads. I forced the epoxy onto the lead edge of the foregrip with clear section
of blank about 1/4 exposed for a gold thread wrap to be applied later then the powder paint mixture. The
final finish on the cork/EVA / hyplaon done with regular dryer sheet (as used for clothes dryer) to bring out
the grain in the cork and clean up the blue slices.
