Fun with Cork Part 2

[ET custom flyrods]

A few of the grips I make . These are all 7" reverse half wells (western style)
Just wanted to show some of the variations you can play with to compliment wraps and reel seats.

I like alot. Very nice work. Maybe this was answered before but what is the colored rings on the grips

[ET custom flyrods]

harley,.............The colored rings are craft foam. Craft foam comes in a variety of colors and is available at craft stores or other stores that have craft sections.

Skip........thanks for adding your creation. I'm interested how you did the checkerboard patterns. I've seen this done before.......Can you enlighten us how it's done?

[skip16510]

I have a checkerboard Jig Basically you cut different cork into pie shapes and glue it up It takes a little time but I think its worth it

[ET custom flyrods]

where can I obtain such a jig? I'd like to experiment with that technique. I'm always looking to learn something new and different.
