I am looking for directions or a 'How To' on making custom eva grips - like putting fish or emblems embedded into a grip to customize or personalize ti?

Bernie Cohen wrote an article for Rodmaker magazine a few years ago which outlines his process. If you want to order grips with inlays made, I'm the only one that is doing that, here's my website: [northeastrodbuilders.com]

I've done a few more this year which I have not posted photos of, I just finished 2 sets of pot leaf grips this weekend for another builder in Staten Island who orders grips from me for his customers because it's cheaper for him on an hourly basis, and another builder from France.

Harry, for $7 or so you can purchase teh backissue magazine which has the article Bernie did. I have posted a few times how to do the inlays, but that article takes you step by step and covers everything you need to know.
