I like this.  I think I'm gonna try this with shark skin on a bendy bow.

Used it the other day for the first time and it made the best fitting handle ever, and it was oh so easy!
Thanks again!

Is sharkskin stretchy when wet?  This technique would really come in very handy when you have a nonstretchy material and need to get it right the first time!

Yes Sir,

I've used this method twice now, on bulbous handled bows.
And even though it looks weird when you lay it out flat, it has worked like a champ.

Thanks Again Bubby!
