Bob's DE89 replica with black anodized handle!

Fellas-

Here is an updated thread to include some pictures of a custom handle I had Bob make. I used the DE89 handle as a starting point since I liked the shape, but really like the look of his black anodized aluminum handles.

It is a bit lighter than the DE89L at 56 grams, but the balance is awesome since the handle is a tad longer.

Have a look!

I'd like to get something like that for my new Goodfella. How do I contact BoB?
 
its does look nice,
but lighter then a R89 ? does it float away or anything ? becuase my main complaint about the new R89 is how light is it,

The R89 is lighter than the DE89... The weights with head are:

R89 = 64 grams
DE89L = 76 grams
Bob's = 56 grams

Bob's handle is about a 1/4 inch longer, so the it balances out the lighter handle well.
