chessieboy:
You said what the handle is made out of but I didnt see what the bow wood itself is.  Just wondering.  Great looking bow.

OldBow:

I got some more pictures.  I put on a rest and strikeplate of leather.  The strikeplate was soaked with superglue, but the rest was just glued on and coated with contact cement.  Shaped with a knife and sandpaper, then burnished.  The handle wrap is some black suede sewed with brown serving thread.  I could have made it prettier, but it keeps the handle from getting wet and slippery with sweaty hands now.







Again, a few more close ups in my photobucket album, i just don't want to clog the thread with a thousand pictures.

Hope you enjoy.
