Aluminum web

This build is on a St Croix SCIV 4S70MLF; I have a blue theme going for this build. The grip is Walnut with Aluminum segments, the fore and aft grip is done to mimic a hanging web and the center grip is a standard web. The spiders are from Billy's book and I'm proud of the fact that I only cut it off 3 times before I settled on this one. After I blew up the pictures I see that I need to spend more time packing (lol), I've learned something for the next time.
