Help me decide on color for grip leather.

1, 2 looks bad, 3...not bad

[Jedimaster]

You made the right choice - #1 looks best to me.  #3 ain't too shabby either.  Very sharp looking bow too.

I would say #1. It will darken as you use it. 3 would look good to!!

When it darkens, it will have the same allure to me that old osage does, and faded jeans, hats that forgot the factory crease, wooden stairs with the center of the step worn down, and brass doorknobs palmed to a mellow mustard color.

Think about those old fifties Bears and their leather grips. I see the smoothed edges, the polished patina, and wonder about the people who used them and where the bow went. Those hands will always be part of the bow. A bow without age and coup marks has not lived much.

Plus I like yellow.

Definitely #1 for my tastes.

Apex hard choice I agree with Kevin and you. #1 then #3. I appreciate your build along thread also. Good posts.

Thanks

Number One!

So far it's 22 for #1, and 20 for #3.  I'm gonna go with 3 first, and may try 1 if I don't like it.

#1 looks the best

My vote is # 1.    

Hold on...I'll ask...  :rolleyes:
