Heres some pictures of a handle I made, this is for a 6ft 3# that I will be building once the blank arrives. Total length for this handle is 6 1/2" compared to 7" handle that is on my 8 1/2' greyflex. The rings came from Soway componenents and are CG3 grade plain rings and burnt burl corks rings, roughly cost £15 for the rings used. I would have just bought a pre-made grip if I was only going to have a plain handle but thought might aswell give it go a make a custom grip. It's easier than you would think and worth the effort.

Nice handle looks good mate.
well done
