It isn't true that the manufacturing industry is headed totally in the direction of the cheap and the mass-produced, as examples like these engraved walnut handlebars prove that quality and craftsmanship maintain a thriving market for the middle class. Likely because of a great shift to quickly made commodities, the public loves to see pieces put together by hand with care and attention.
Here we have a straight or flat style of bicycle handgrips that's been sawed and sanded from a rich solid wood. The Laser Cut Studio used its precision machines to score a tight crisscrossing pattern around the end thirds of the cane to help create a bit of traction between a rider's hands and these engraved walnut handlebars.
