Not something I've ever seen or heard about, I'd love to see one. So does this mean that you may have several different wraps along the length of the handle? Interesting. I'll bet that is a bitch to deal with the seams if the wraps are too different. I already hate installing the heavily textured gator wraps and trying to hide the one seam; having to hide numerous seams sounds tedious.
Wow. That's really impressive. I've not seen that before and really like that look. I may have to build one of those to try it out.
So, I've been thinking about this construction. If the handle is one-piece, how thin the wall of the rings would need to be given that the leather is fairly thin and you would want a flush transition from leather to ring to leather. Perhaps the handle is three pieces so that you can have a reduced diameter at each ring position to hold the rings and an appropriate larger diameter for the wrap area? Thread them all together to lock up the rings? This would be a fun project to play around with. I guess this gets easier with a full core, it would just have three handle pieces..

Do you have any issue with the feel while playing? Feeling the wrap and the rings? Or is that a non issue?
I think I’m going to do that for my next cue!
