The Cork on the handle was some "select grade" that i had laying around and its really crappy cork, but for a prototype i thought it was going to be ok. i think that the flor grade cork from REC is the best you can get without buying bulk from the supplier. The bamboo goes through the whole grip to the bottom handle.Tony Bellaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427149562875305414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173468824344257384.post-31263931843726666412012-05-29T12:51:56.900-07:002012-05-29T12:51:56.900-07:00Hi Tony.
