This stuff can be difficult to match up with a bike, but I think it's fun sometimes.

PB,
I offer an alligator skin grip for golf putters and it sells for over $200 per grip. Not many takers for this luxury item but there are a few. Finding the real thing in a skin is a bit hard, but it can be done. Your work with the leather is very good so my kudos! Smiles, MH

Thanks MH! A picture of your putter grip would be appropriate in this thread. I know my wife would like to see it. She's the golfer in our family.

I'm gonna put this here as it is a bit interesting nowdays to me, I had some NOS Bennoto that seemed perfect for this even though I am not a fan, I need way more cushion.

So I put some thin cushion underneath and it turned out ok I think. ;)

I actually installed a layer of foam under the 'gator skin prior to stitching on the 'gator covers.

Well Pastor Bob,
Here you go. The grips are listed as Exotics and are the real skins. The pink is likely belly skin since the pattern is so small. and the black one is more likely an adult skin. They are pretty cool and are the last grip you will probably put on a club. They do not show any signs of wear after plenty of use. I have salmon skin on my personal putter and after 8 years It still looks and feels like new. Smiles, MH

Pink gator skin side view and top view of the black grip. The natural leather shows pretty nicely on the top of the black grip.

This is my personal putter cover. Seriously one of a kind. Made from actual body leather of multiple gator hides.
