Go to SOL and look at the Decorative Grips Photos sticky thread. Billy 40 uses the exact techniques required by cutting and gluing up foam blocks to get the same types of patterns in turned grips from those blocks that you want in the wood. Its not that hard but you need to see the basics then its trial and error from there to tune the exact patterns in the glued up the blocks to get what you want in the subsequently turned pieces . There was a guy named Bernie who also did wonders in turning grips before he died. I'm sure you'll see his full name there also and may be able to look up some of his work too.The patterns you get are amazing when you see the rectangular cross sections all glued up before and after they are turned.
