I'd like to put a leather grip on my recurve but it has a significantly curved grip. Does anyone have any tips on how to best go about doing this? The leather I have doesn't stretch much so I can't get it to go down smoothly around the whole grip.

Check out Three Rivers they have seven grips . I have only used the saddle it forms perfectly to your bow and is a very comftable leather .

I have done a few. I use masking tape to make a pattern then sew it up. You will have trouble if you have any really radical shapes, like deep grip areas. Cut a good pattern. Hold it on with rubber cement while you sew, go slow, enjoy the work and it should turn out just fine.

thx for the tip there. I have a Beaver tail I want to use on my Blacktail. I've been messing with it and can't see how I was going to get it on there looking good. I'll try your tape method.

Doing a straight longbow grip is pretty straight forward. Getting the curves smooth on a recurve is something else. I want mine to come out like this.

wow those are nice  

To make it fit radical curves I've found it helps to wet the leather and do one curve atta time.  To help it stay how ya want till it dries I use some heavy string to wrap it.  Here's a pic I hope will help...
