I have Omer 110 Airbalete being shipped to Cali, after I shake it down and see if I can live with it, this will
be the first mod.

What! you made a wood handle for the epitome of pneumatic spearguns!

Nice work. Do you think it's going to match aesthetically?

Yes, I have always built and used my own guns from 10 years old.I have a few in threads kicking around here showing a few of my creations.
The fine handle carving was done by a spero in France, it is very close to some of the handles I have carved
and shaped to fit my hand.

I'm going carry out tests, before I chose the density of the wood, and before I waste any time with that, I will evaluate the
Airbalate as a hunting tool for inshore huntting of 5 lb Calico bass and 50lb White Sea Bass.
As this gun will get mod'ed you, will most likely see a barrel which blends into green kelp fronds with a dense Cocobolo handle.
