Hey everyone. I've built a few rods over the years. However, this is my first attempt at making a birch bark rod grip. There are a couple of minor issues and some things I would do differently next time, but overall I think it turned out pretty good for my first effort. What do you think?
Birch bark with ebony and cocobolo accents.

It's BEAUTIFUL!!!! My birchbark grip is my most favorite of all the grips I have. Use it and enjoy!!!!
Very nice, Royce ! I have 2 rods in the works, going with birchbark on the first for sure. It'll be my first birch grip.
I harvested the bark myself from a storm downed tree. I have some very dark exotic hardwood for accents & winding check. Way to go setting the bar high...
Royce,
That is really a very nice grip. Well done.
The wood colors go great with the birch bark. And very nice transitions between the wood and the birch bark.
Very smooth and well executed.
