i am after a cork handle for a rod build i am due to start. i have recently purchased a st croix 6ft 6in 4wt fly rod blank off a forum member. i have order the guides but having trouble finding a cork handle in the UK.

preferably i am after a 6 inch cigar shaped cork handle and dark reel seat to suit. just wondered whether any of the rod builders on the forum have anything lying around or can point me in the direct of a supplier in the UK.

i have purchased my rod guides etc. from david norwich but unfortunately he currently has a three week waiting list. i was hoping to start the build asap.

please PM if you can help.

kind regards
