I was wondering where I left that old thing.

I'm glad you posted the pic Colin. When I saw Ryan's, I thought "Man, that looks like mine!"

Ryan, show us pics after the new grip is on.

I've already scrapped my first attempt, with out a pattern I didn't get the shape close. Might have it now on my forth try, yes I think it's gonna work this time.

Thanks guys, glad there are folks around that appreciate the classics as much as I do.   The good lord made the wood. Fred made something beautiful out of it. I'm just the fortunate temporary caretaker of it.

I'm back with the leather grip on the '62 I didn't have a pattern (bow came off the bay without a leather grip) so it took me 4 tries to cut out the leather and be happy with the shape of it. This was my fist time putting a leather grip on a bow, so it's not perfect by any means, but I'm happy with it.

I first have to thank the Bowdoc, Don Ward for the time and effort he put in to the refinishing 101 thread, I pretty much followed the putting on a new leather grip info from start to completion.

             

             

I got this bow just a few days ago, finished the grip this AM and did some shooting. I love this bow!!! Well, this is where it gets good.
Today was the last day of our MO deer season. I wanted to get some woodsie pic's of the new bow with it's new grip, so I just took it (didn't think I'd see any deer anyway right?)

At about 5:15 this evening I made one of my best on game, shots ever with the new to me grizzly, WOW!!!
Did I already say this is my new favorite bow               :bigsmyl:              

             

I was shooting a blue 500gr. 1970 cedar tipped with a 2 blade razorhead.

 
 
Keep them '62 pic's comin    :thumbsup:
