Ahhhhh, much better.   8)

When I look at self bows (take down or not) I just don't like the look of rubber on them. Be it grip or string silencers you just can't beat leather. That grip looks good now and will look great once it has some discoloration from use.

Never really cared for the rubber grips on a selfbow,the leather is much better.
By the way love the rubber roll on's on custom glass bows. Looking forward to seeing her bend. :)

   Okay, I'm glad you took that rubber thing off.  Now pull that string back and show us the money shot!

I figgered you woul dlike it better Bulldog! I do to. Finish pics this afternoon when I get home. Indoor pics just make bows look bad and it was dark by the time I was done tinkering with the grips. I like to take pics outside in the daylight to give the bows their just due.

Drums:  Go with the leather, my Osage brother.  I know, I'm not fond of doing grips also.  It's my least favorite part of making the bow.  But when it's finished, it looks great.  Try that roll-on rubber thingy on your pistol grip.  Okay, the suspense is killing us.  Show us the bow!

First Pearly asks us if he should use a rubber.  Then he talks about porn.  Now he's showing us some skin.  I'm getting a little nervous about what might come next?!?!? :o

Glad you went with the leather, Chris. I bet that thing will last longer now anyway. (Rubber woulda caused the steel to sweat and that leads to rust which weakens steel and ultimately kaPOWW!)

Well, maybe it just looks better.  ???

Im glad you went with leather.  I personally never liked the way rubber feels on wood,  but that's a different topic.   Great job on the stitching. Do you have tip overlays on the bow?  If so what color are they, do you have leather the same color as those? Ive always liked bows with contrasting colors.  Either way the bow looks great as is. Great Job.
