I'm about ready to build out a Burkie 4114 blank, hopefully for some Montana fishing, maybe even some summer runs. Anyway, I'm playing with the idea of making the bottom grip out of a combo of wood and cork rings. I'm thinking the small amount of extra weight might even help balance the rod but I'm a little concerned how varnishing over the mixture of cork and wood would hold up.
Any input is appreciated as I'm just about ready to glue up the grips.
Thanks,
Mark
