Custom cork grips?

Is there somewhere I can order custom cork grips from? Such as checker board, burnt etc.

I'd do it myself but really don't have the room in my apartment to turn cork.

Thanks.

I've not purchased from them - turn my own - so no experience with the company.

I'd love to do it myself but living in an apartment I'm assuming it would make quite the mess.

Jason,
No question about it, making a cork grip in an apartment is a really bad idea.

However, you could wait until warm weather and do it on the back lawn or similar.

Be safe

Or you could use a vacuum cleaner (held by a pair of willing and uncomplaining hands ;-)) put up against the turning lathe and really do it indoors. Plus sprinkling the cork and the sandpaper with some water will help reduce the mess.

Mind you, the vacuum cleaner must be turned on!

I will second, third or even fourth Joe M. at customflygrips.com. I have ordered more than a few from him and the quality is always top notch.
