Full Grips Longer Than Reamer

What's the best way to ream a 14 inch full grip when the length and taper of the reamer doesn't get it done straight through?

Here's a great video from Flex Coat for making your own reamer.

You could:
1: Ream if from the other end too.
2: If its cork...you could cut it in half.

If you wanted to make your own...shot me an email and I will send you the materials.
I bought a roll of the this tape sand paper and it like a life time supply.

Ream one end then ream the other end to fit. Any imperfections/gaps will fill with glue when you build it.

They must be making them shorter now, all my old shop bought reamers were long enough, my home builds are like 3 ft. long.

Take a piece of solid rod blank and use it to create an extension to your current reamer.

Or, simply build a new reamer that is longer and of a size that will suit your needs.
