hi dave just had a look nice i think i just worked it out mine a double one one side has 8 slits and that makes shapes other side v shape with slits i think that longer but thanks for your but i will hang in there nice work

The slicing jig is just that. You can slice thin slices of cork to make bands to go in your grip. For example, you can slice some dark burl and use it as in the photo that Dave is showing you. The other side of the pie jig can be used to cut a different shaped piece although I have never used it.

The other side of mine is for cutting "V" shaped peices, if you put 2 back to back you have a diamond among other things.

Hope that helps.

hi stan paul here my is like the in the photos its the exacts like the in the photos mine has the v shape as well thank you

Stan is correct about the other side of the aluminum jig. It cuts pieces for inlaying diamond shaped designs into the grips. I do not have a picture of a grip with the diamond inaly, but maybe someone will post one. You have to cut two cork rings to make the diamond look. The jigs are back in stock and available for shipping. If anyone is interested in one, just contact me.

hi stan very nice work i like the flame work and the diamond work thanks for your help i need the luck once i worked it out i will put my work in local in octeber thanks stan

Paul you asked a question elsewhere about using sanding blocks for making grips or rings. Where you asked is a good place for getting fish fry recipes but not so good for rod building info.

Yes you can make grips from them. They will be heavier than regular cork because they are composition cork. Granulated and rejoined with adhesive. Use a hole saw and drill your rings to whatever diameter you want. The blocks are about 2" thick usually so you end up with very long rings which I think is fine. The center drill in the hole saw will bore the center hold for you and you can then bore it larger and mount to the mandrel that closest matches your rod blank. The composition cork will sand and turn just like wood.

Stan -- Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures of the possibilities, when using the inlay jig. That is darn nice handle work that you are doing!!
