I dont know how to drill the hole so it is concentric with the out side. Thanks Re: Wooden Rod Grips

The key is to drill the hole first, say 1/2", then slide the wooden blank onto a 1/2" mandrel and do your turning. It forces the hole to be perfectly centered.

Gary,
Turning wood fishing handles is really no different than making pens. Just do a search for pen making. There are many many good sources of videos and instructions for pen making. Good luck Roger Re: Wooden Rod Grips

Gary, I did an article in the Feb. edition of Rodmaker on wooden grips. Most were painted and had a fish theme the basics are the same. You can design what you want.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Bill Re: Wooden Rod Grips

There will be many who disagree - but you are taking a chance that the blank will fail at the forward end of the grip due to the creation of a "hard-spot" there at the end of the grip. This is more a blank loads into the butt - the more chance that this is a risk.

@ Bill Ballou, is there any way I can get a copy of the article you're speaking of ? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
