Title: Lace up Leather handle
Post by: Davo on August 31, 2009, 03:04:00 AM
I have a new bow on the way.  I wanted the obtion of adding a laced up leather grip but so far i have only found self adhesive models.  Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to PM me your address and color preference and I'll send you a few pieces.   :)  

I have a whole mess of thin deer leather that's perfect for a grip.  Also some goat, calf, elk and regular old cow.

There are a few build alongs in the how-to section and there are a few people who can talk you through some more complicated wraps as well.

go to an upholstry shop that reupholsters furniture. im sure they have scrap leather there for you to choose from, and make them an offer i scored a bunch of upholstry grade leather enough to make dozens of handles. some ofe the leather i have passed on to freinds here at tg for thier bows as well
