Micheal, I put the pic of the handle on the photo page, its the best shot I got lol, I like the glossy shine, I am wondering if I can get it glossier then that, but I guess I should be content, its my first tru oil job, Have a good one hope you like the pic.

Pretty spectacular grip, Lorenzo. You're a much more patient man than I. I'm not sure if you can get more glossy with Tru Oil. One of its features for gunstocks is its softer gloss. There may be an overcoat you can put on it, but I would test it before I used it to be sure all the work you have already done won't be damaged by the overcoating material. -

I like the way it is, I don't think It will make it look any better, right now I am putting a deco wrap on the rod a reverse chevron, and thanks for looking I do got to get a better camera. Have a good one!

Lorenzo,
It would have been a 'white-wash' if you didn't have that 'Shiny' new grip on that rod. :)

Really nice looking grips.
My grips are way more simple than yours. But I do like the shine and glossy look.

Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.

Larry
