I'm not a big marbling fan (unless it is by Putter) but a customer wanted a marbled fore grip instead of a wrap to compliment his Matagi Salamanda red seat.I was happy with the result and more to the point, so was he!

This is a Matagi seat in the Salamanda colour scheme.I think it looks great and really is a highlight in the handle set up. The trims are matagi and a Fuji butt cap.

This was a hard wrap for me. The taper on this rod was pretty savage with a 10mm difference over the length of the wrap.I saved what I could and tied down each end with a little Olive leaf (my first) and learnt a few things in doing so. Wrap is in NCP ProWrap and Mettler polysheen.

Finally finished. Xzoga PE 3-4 popper rod. This will be one of my personal rods. I made one previous for a close mate as a retirement present. He never got to use it after a battle with cancer but I know he treasured it.

Trying something different with this one. This is a photos of the area in front of the fore grip. I've repeated the pattern in the split grip area. I now have to CP and 2-3 coats of epoxy, wait a week and then fit the grips and seat. I wanted to hide the tie offs so it appears as one wrap.
