First Handle Wrap
« on: April 12, 2013, 10:02:29 am »
Well, I attempted to do my own wrap on my first Osage bow. Everyone on here made it look so good, I wrongly assumed it was easy. I cut my leather out of a pair of old slip on boots and give it heck. While it can be called a wrap, it leaves a little to be desired compared to what I've seen on here.

Nothin' wrong with that handle wrap Greg.  You should have seen my first one.  I put the stitches on the belly side of the bow.   ::)  Like most things, they get easier and better looking the more you make.

It ain't nothing fancy, but I like it. I need better leather working tools. Driving a nail through it surely is not the best way of hole punching.

Thanks Ozzy. I've got you some more bandsaw blades if you want them.

Nothing wrong with that.  Lot's of mine still look worse than your first attempt.
