These days, most people know the name, Pete Souza. He’s been the official White House photographer twice – for Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama – as well as being a photographer for The Chicago Tribune for many years in between.

Of course, similar procedure can be implemented to create a wooden grip for the newer Xpro 2 as well, and probably the Xpro3 when it comes. (we are not starting a rumor now!).

It is kinda straight forward, so I am just gonna lay out the photos to show you how it’s done step by step.
