Custom Eva

Hiya,

I'm looking for somewhere that may build some custom EVA block that could put a name or logo printed into the middle of it. I would like to put my logo in the middle of a EVA handle but not quite sure how to put it on the EVA and keep it on there permanently

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Inlay it. That is about the only way and Billy V. can help you with that.

NAmes are VERY difficult to do in grips and time consuming. The images you can get done depend on teh amount of detail, points, colors, etc. HEre's a set of grips I made for my Mom last year with names in them: [www.rodbuilding.org]

If anyone can do something just as Billy V. and he's probably done or will tell you why it can't be done.

JOm, if you are doing it yourslef, it's nothing more than tracing the image out of one color, then digging out the outline of this inlay in the main grip. Use Weldwood contact cement to glue it in. I do it a complete diferent way where you need a scroll saw, bandsaw, and wood lathe.

I assume you checked with a sponsor like Mud Hole? They would also have whatever stock they obtained from Merrick.
