I was looking around for some good articles on construction/design of custom eva grips or cork grips. Would anybody have old articles saved that they could pass along?

Hello Adam.

RodMaker mag covers this stuff several times but the one I remember most is "Ellipticals" By Billy Vivona in Volume 15 - Issue 3 - page 14.


Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines.

Adam,

Now and then, there's some info on working with EVA posted from the members of the NERBS Facebook group. On the page there's a link to files where a couple instructional articles are posted:

[www.facebook.com]

Also, Tom Kirkman just published an article in the recent Rodmaker magazine on laminating EVA strips to create variegated colorings.

Some of the sponsors sell jigs for cutting cork rings in creative ways. By using different colors of cork (or other ring materials) pieces can be reassembled to create geometric designs. Here's a link you can check out:

You can also get in touch with Wayne Diduch up in Canada, he has a unique jig for what he calls, I believe, a king's crown. He might share the plans to make the jig with you.
