Bill_729 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2020 It is very pretty... What is the story behind the dark "stripes" on the grip? Did you somehow "improve" the condition of the cork? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2020 I build all my own grips out of burl cork rings. The dark cork is a cork ring called dark mix burl cork. Then the lighter cork is brown burl cork rings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
