Title: Pistol grip board bow
Post by: razorbak on May 17, 2013, 04:42:02 pm

Ok I have been try to make several different grips with my board bows. I tried a Hill style and didn't like it very much. Tried a bulbous one but screwed up. Does anyone have a pic of a pistol grip on a board bow as I have no clue how to begin

As you shape the handle stop every once in awhile and hold it. Feel where its uncomfortable and remove wood. Dont think about it too much just go with the flow.
