for him the great success you see, is not to get, but just to be,
amidst the oak and the hickory tree.

just google timo's racket handle wrap
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Dave wrapped it like you would a tennis racket.   It's pretty heavy leather.

George, thank you very much for the additional pics.  It helps me see a bit different style of a well made bow.
