Well, if you have been following this posting – you’ll noticed that I haven’t posted in a while (months). With a 2 year old and all the other things going on – I had to take a few months off. However, I am back now.
After my last posting in December, when found that while reaming out the hole for the rod to fit in the grip—sections of my birch bark veneers separated and the grip was ruined. After discussing with the experts, they assured me that this a very typical and keep charging forward. So below are some pictures of a clamp I am using to attach the grip to the handle and reassemble and glue up the sections in the veneer that separated.
