Heres a few recent examples of Tiger Wraps done in size A Gudebrod thread. Notice how tight the patterns are, some forming rings and spots. Cant tell in the pic, but the 3D effect(especially with the black one)causes the rings and the centers of the spots to swap colors with slight movement of the rod. Also note the neutral grey contrast thread..the grey is the perfect contrast color to go with a

...Ok, Ive made semi slick butts from this material before with great results..decided to try rail rod grips. They are solid high density rubber cork composite, much denser than the grade used for cork tape. Very tough stuff! Took me a while to figure out the tooling, but I finally got some prototypes!
