Video on turning EVA blocks square to round + Decorative Grip Pattern book

This was mentioned in another thread, no I do not have a video on how to do it, but this was taken at The NERBs booth at the ICRBE Feb 2011. [www.youtube.com] I am currently working on a small book on making various patterns using unbored EVA or Cork blocks. SO far I've done the pages for the following patterns:
Chevrons
Circle Illusions
Ellipticals
Four Sided Chevron Inlay
Petals
Random Abstracts
Segmented Star
Spider WEb
Three Sided Chevron inlay

There are several more that I have which I haven't gotten to yet. I wil be doing another article in ROdmaker MAgazine on grips, and I will be doing a seminar on grip inlays at teh 2012 ICRBE 12 noon on Sunday - in addition to having a lathe set up at The NERBs booth.

Hi Billy,

AS always put my name on the list for the book order. Needed a new one to add to the collection.

Thanks for all you do for our craft.

The last time I was able to attend ICRBE was when you 1st came out with your small book/pamphlet on wraps. I'll be able to attend this year, finally, now with your 1st book on grips - yee ha!. I wish I had you sign the wrap pamphlet for me last time - maybe I can get you to sign a grip book for me this year? Anyway, good vid - by comparison you wouldn't be able to recognize me behind a lathe as I'd be all wrapped up in safety glasses, dust mask and rod maker smock and that grip would be all over the floor hacked to pieces by an overzealous gouge placement.
