Arrow rest

I'm looking for examples of leather arrow rests, only thing I will not do a leather wrap so the rest would just be glued on the handle and I do not want a Floppy rest
this will be my first as I usually cut in a shelf. Thanks

I've done quite a few where I've glued 3 or 4 layers of leather, then carve it out and glue it on. I usually wrap them after, but you don't have too. You would see the layers, but if you sanded it up nice it would look good

This may not be what you are searching for, but I glue up some leather, shape it, then cord wrap it to the handle after building it up with cork.

Here's another way if you don't want to wrap it

I use wine corks sliced in half. I then use a Dremel with a sanding disc to shape it how I want.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
