Very nice Vic,

Are you going to fill in the cork handles a bit more with Elmers filler. Looks like they were and maybe you shaped them a bit more and opened some voids.

Wraps to me always looks better and take better pics before the finish goes on. That is a nice simple wrap. Many times I thing people go overboard with decorative things.

So what is a Race Point 200??????
