Yes thanks guys, I made it all out of 1 Poly cylinder so I could not understand why I could select the 'lead' and texture it no-problem - Yet when I tried the 'handle' or the 'wood' it always selected both?
To be honest I'm still unsure why, but as long as I can fix it, that will have to do for now...
Thanks drknow and TwEeK...
