I have done some birch bark grips. Good enough. Do any of you guys know if there are other suitable types of bark that will work and hold up for rod grips? I look around the yard at my own trees and wonder if something there might work. I can see it could have to be thin and sheet-like. Any ideas? Re: Other Types of Bark for Grips

I did the ponderosa bark grip that Mike linked to. I really enjoyed that and it feels great in the hand. I finished it with tru-oil.

How does the weight of the bark rings compare to that of cork? Heavier I would guess... They sure look nice regardless of weight. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
