I was wondering if it would be posible to get a grip stippled on a bow I'm getting? and who would you suggest? i'm getting a new to me BW and would love to have the grip stippled, I think it look so good!
Thank you
Centaur Archery did one of mine and I am very happy with it.
D.P.
You might check with Lee Hoots, he does a great job on his bows and he is a sponsor here.

Here's another Hoot's just a little different!

Lee does do some nice stippling on his Hootsbows and the Anneewakee Addictions he makes. My two aren't fancy but just nice stippling jobs. Don't know if he does others bows or not though. I like the feel of a stippled grip in any case.
I saw a how-to posted up on this site some time ago. I just don't have the intestinal fortitude needed to try doing it myself! Anyone want to loan me their bow?

:saywhat: :laughing:
Mike Teifer by way of Acadian Woods does a fine job. Think he charges @ $75. Contact Mr. Tim at Acadian Woods and he can get you better information.

Tim, Did a great thread about how to do it yourself. It's in the "How-To" forum...

Tim's instruction helped me to decide to try this on a bow I had built. Worked good and not really hard. I would suggest that you practice on a piece of wood before going after the bow with a dremel tool though.
Thank you for yhr info, I will look into it!
Cheers
