Nice work!  Curious, how do you make the raised ridges around the top and bottom of the leather grip?

Good looking bow, and I agree about that style being a favorite. Just so smooth and easy to shoot. My plan A tradebow looks much the same, unfortunately just a bit too light on weight.

Thanks everybody

Bkhoffer...I just cut my leather a half inch longer than I want and just make a quarter inch fold n tack it down lightly with super glue,then go ahead and punch the holes and stitch her up...that's how I do it anyways...some other do it differently

Great looking bow Chris.  It was a joy watching you pull it out of the van and turn it into a bow.  I learned a lot of little Blackhawk tricks watching you make this one.  We still should have put up the lights Saturday night and shot it.  I can't believe we were all too tired to shoot a brand spankin' new bow.  I guess that's a testiment to how much fun we had that weekend.  ;D

Great looking bow there Blackcaulk! I'm loving those skinny tips, almost not even there.  See you in a month!
