Here are 2 bows with bulbous handles and a Floppy Rest. I also pack out the back of the handle with leather similar to John. I have made arrow rest like John's but now prefer the Floppy.
Next is a ELB style bow I made for Huntsman Lance, also with a Floppy.
And finally my latest bow with a bulbous handle and a Floppy rest.
The wrap on the snake skin backed bow is rattan and the others are hemp cord set in Massey finish; a new favorite also.
