What exactly are you looking for with wood inlays? I have a friend in Wisconsion who makes the most amazing wooden grips for rods, I could get you in contact with him if you like. His name is MArk Blabaum, here is some of his work:

that would be nice. i was thinking about getting into turning wood but the more i think about the more i shy away from it. thinking buying pre turned would be better. i will keep in touch. i will need that contact soon. i appreciate the help.
