Leatherwork on Handles

simk:
Today was a good day - finally did something I was planning to do for years...improving my leatherwork.

So my friend the shoemaker visited me and we together refurbished 3 old bows - provided them simple and basic leather grips. It's not complicated, few simple tools and only a little knowhow. It's the small things, like preparing an edge, that finally make the difference. I'm totally happy with the results and I'm looking forward to lesson 2.

cheers 

Pat B:
Nice leatherwork. Just beveling the outside edges makes a big difference in appearance and comfort.   :OK

bentstick54:
Very nice.

PaSteve:
Definitely adds to the aesthetics of a well crafted bow. They look great.

Jim Davis:
Let's see the tools.
