You realize shipping is going to cost nearly as much as the wood or the leather.

I would recommend going to a used leather store and buying an old leather jacket for $15 buck and you will be able to make about 20 grips in case you mess up.

I hope you don't mind my suggestion.

go to a michaels store to get some leather, if you dont have one locally go on line. If you cant find it I have some I could donate to help you.Michaels is a very large craft store.
