gah! my post vanished, Well that's it! first bow is finished, I ended up using barge cement and glued layers of leather, shaped them, and then wrapped them with suede. I'm fairly pleased with it. It may be a little bigger than it should be, don't have much archery experience, it's comfortable though. Quite happy with the bow all around, it's a bit lighter than I was going for but no big deal. I think I did a decent job having next to no woodworking experience and having not shot a bow in over 10 years lol.
I tried to post some pics of the handle but they are way to big, how do I shrink the size down?
