Now that is some very nice, even checkering. Not easy to wrap it on a curved surface and keep it that clean.

Burnsie,
I've actually been offering the checkering for a year or so. Started doing in in 2012. Its tedious, but it sure looks sweet.

Bisch,

That's more of my handi-work

I'll be bringing a Wolverine FXT snakewood/ebony handled bow with snakewood veneers and a checkered handle. 60", should net about 53#@28". It's a pretty one!

But as always, looks awesome!

Keep coming back to look at these....

I love it.  If I were to build a custom bow, could you checker all the way up to the tope of the grip?

Awesome!!!
Title: Re: Checkered snakewood
Post by: Bivyhunter on January 16, 2014, 06:37:00 PM
Spurs, you can't really check through the throat of the grip because the lines of the pattern of the checkering get distorted going through the radius. It's tough enough going over the longer radius of the palm of the handle!
