After soaking the leather in water for about 4 hrs, I wrung out all the water, and wraped it around the grip. I used the orange spring clamps to hold the leather together where I would be doing the lacing. After forming the leather, and being satisfied with how it looked, I set it aside to dry for a week. Probably didn't need that long, but I had a lot going on.
I have a string with a broken arrow hanging from the ceiling that I use to hang the bow to make it easy to work on.
I took off the clamps, used a sharpie to mark where I wanted to cut the grip at, and also my lacing holes where I punched them out with a 4 penny finish nail. I left about a 3/8" gap where the lacing would be at so that when lacing, I could pull it all together.
Using a squeeze clamp, I held the leather in place so that I could free up my hands to lace.
Once lacing down a few holes, I pulled the clamp off, rolled the leather back, and used rubber cement under the grip in strtegic places.
I then rolled the leather back down and continued my lacing (Lacing just sounds much more "Manly" than sewing does).
Finish product from the rear.

To finish up the tag ends of the sinew, I tied a simple square knot at the bottom, then ran the "J" hook needles up 4 or 5 lacing holes, pulled them tight and cut them off. The tension of pulling the tag ends tight before I cut them allowed them to pull back under the grip so as not to have exposed strings dangling in the breeze.
