Tennessee Handle Tube

I have never built a handle using the graphite tube. What is best to fill the space between the tube and blank?
Thanks, Judd

The supplier you get the tubing from should also have graphite
and or foam arbors sized for the tubing.

Ray hit it dead on ... let the vendor give you a hand. Bob at Custom Tackle is VERY well informed on those types of grips and keeps a wide variety in stock, along with all the miscellaneous parts needed for assembly. We were just discussing some of the newer stuff the other day as a matter of fact.

Judd; just so you’re clear, there is no need to "fill the space between tube and blank". Just a need to create a couple or three contact points using arbors to secure the handle (tubing to the blank)
Custom Tackle is also who I suggest you contact.
