Did one on a self bow, will have to look to see if I have pictures. Made the tools to do it out of a couple of nails, different sizes.
Thanks,
I did a stippled grip on a bow,I used a dremel tool with a small ball diamond bit to make the stipples.I just taped an outline pattern and stayed within the pattern.Don't have pic's.
I did it on a recurve I built. But I practiced on some scrap wood before jumping into it! Used a Foredom flex shaft with a round bit, random design.

Here's a grip I did. The bow would turn on me when I got near full draw. After stipling she stays where I grab it. Doesn't really show up all that well on the camo, but that ain't all bad. I like it, it works for me.
