I am finishing up a bow for my special someone and I am trying to decide how I'd like to wrap the handle.  I have heard of Ostridge being used, and I'd like to see a picture of it if any one has one and would like to share.  thanks.

Bard1, several years ago I aquired some leg skin, and it is great looking, abit thick and hard to work with on a contoured handle.  Sorry no pics!

Tandy Leather markets ostrich leather in various colours.

Haven't seen any on a bow, though.

Let's see if I can get this to work...I will take a better shot at lunch.  By the way, I can't take credit for this...the crafsmanship is by Hunterdfk, I just got lucky enough to have the winning at the St. Jude's Auction last year.
