CAMO Handle MHX

I started off with the handles for this rod. Experimenting with different way to enhance the split grip exposed blank.

Of course, first I choose the material that I wanted to use for the grip.
Green CAMO EVA from Matagi.

I tried tiger wraps on the split grip area. It was not what I expected it to be. It's harder than I thought.

With the winding check at both side.
