Another bowhandle wrap
« on: February 05, 2009, 05:57:10 pm »
As promised in this thread (Hickory backed Ipe-Elb) I will show how I make this special wrap for the handle.
I hope the pics will speak for themselves - I am afraid that my English is not good enough for a exactly description.

For the wrap you can use only one strip of leather. Or you can glue two strips of different colors together for a nice pattern.

I hope you enjoy  :)

Brilliant!  I've gotta have a go at that myself. 

Many thanks for doing the wrap-along !!

Regards, Bob
