Guys,
Just finished before Xmas this James Green blank. The first time turning my own grip from some flor grade rings. I tried to create a 6 1/2" Ritz style grip with a slight full wells swell that fit my hand (a little oversized). The blank sports a Ray Lee seat, Anthony 10mm stripping guide, Snake Brand black nickel snake guides and tip top wrapped in Fuji ultra poly thread in golden rod 014. Only a bit of lawn casting so far but, it's really balanced up and down the length of the blank and very smooth overall. Reminds me of the YouTube video of Chris Barclay casting a 3wt James Green 3wt. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with it.
Chris
