Well done.  Love the lathe.  That is what has stopped me from trying to turn my own grip.  What are the red dots on the last piece of cork on the fighting butt.  Where do you buy the cork??  
 
Grip finish is sharp looking.

The red dots is what Mark put on the cork.
 
I buy a lot of stuff from acid rods
You can also look at mudhole as well.
