Excellent! Can I offer a suggestion? Forget the two little groves at the end of the half-wells grips. Don't need 'em, don't want 'em.

Don, no problem if you do not want the two little groves just put a note in the comments section of the order form when you check out and we will not put them in. FYI - the groves are cut in the the wood and then the wood is coated with a clear coat that basically fills in the grooves so you do not actually feel them, you just see them below the surface.

We would add we just fished one of the Cobra handles shown on the bottom of that link. These handles are very comfortable to fish and we could see them being very useful for the right applications, check them out at:

Is it possible to get these grips unfinished as well?

Good question Mick
I have found that from coating wood and cork with a nice flat slick coat of clear makes them look nice - but is not nice in the hand. Slippery. Now I only put a very thin coat of clear on. Not as shinny but has a better grip in the hand.

Mick - Yes we can make them unfinished. Again just put that request in the comments area when you check out. I also note you can pick different ID's and wood type combinations from the drop down when you check out.
