Worst case if u are really worried about it put a solid chunk of fiberglass rod back there then the rod will be stronger there then anywhere else in the blank. I've actually been

Forum: rodboard

Ild like to try and make my own handles from blocks of corkor Eva I'm having trouble using my drill press keeping my hole strait through the entire piece befor I turn it down.
