Title: Tennis grip leather handle?
Post by: Stonedog on May 09, 2013, 07:41:40 pm

A few years ago, there was an article in either PA or TBM that was a how-to on making a tennis racquet style handle wrap for a bow. I did one for a bow and now cannot find the article again.

It involved a strip of leather about an inch wide and you skived the edges...

Does anyone know what issue it was in, if so can you tell me which and if it is on line?

There's a great build along on this by Timo in the build along section.  At least it used to be there.

That's the one!  I do the same thing. but use a skiver on the edges on the leather instead of the belt sander.

Thanks!
