Stippling a Black Widow
« on: March 06, 2014, 06:58:00 PM »
I am new to stippling grips but am wondering if its ok to do a Black Widow grip? My concern is the fiberglass area in the grip. Is there anybody out there that has stippled a Black Widow grip and how has it turned out?

My BW grips are all checkered.  Dave didnt mention any issues to me when he did them.

The fiberglass will dull the bit so I'd use one the the glass and a different one for the wood so you don't burn the wood with a dull bit.

Thanks for the input so far. Would anybody happen to have a picture of a Black Widow grip either stippled or checkered?

I will not own a bow that is not checkered.  It is the best thing I have ever done to my bows.   Very repeatable and no slip with or without gloves.  Even in 100 degree heat with 80% humidity.

As far as checkering goes Dave had really good turn around time, and is very good.

Dave....I had the same concerns as you about the checkering.  I decided to go for it when I ordered my Tall Tines.  I like it so much I'm getting ready to send my PSA off to Dave W to get it done as well.   You're welcome to try it out when I get it back.  I'm up in Russellville all the time.

Dave has checkered probably 30 risers for me.  All come back fantastic.  Black Widows, Tips, Caribows, Stalkers, Bighorns, Robertsons, etc...
