Did you make your own bar tape? What about the handle on the frame pump?

Hey thanks!
Tha bar tape is brooks leather and I did the chainstay and the pump handle. I ordered that pump to fit my frame but it was over 1 and 1/2" to short when I got it! So rather than sending it back I cut the plastick handle and used a chunk of an old handle bar to make it longer and covered it with leather. If I could make the body look like wood it would be the ultimate "Fred" pump !
