I got the diamond leather stamps in yesterday, and played around with them. I think it’ll make a great texture for a handle wrap. There’s 3 sizes to play with so I may get creative.

I like it kyle

How thick leather are you using and I guess your grip is smaller so it dosent get to big.

So far in liking the 5oz range. Beefy enough to be pretty solid but with a little edge skivving it keeps the edges from feeling blocky.

I mailed my victims bow today. Hopefully it makes it in one piece.

I still need to skive the top and bottom but here’s the stamping done for the handle wrap of the Quasimodo bow.

I'm happy with my trad bow now. Just have to put some finish on it and wrap new leather on the handle.

I had a bit of a setback with my first attempt. It was always a thin-ringed gamble and it failed. I should have backed it I know but, I didn't. I'll get an update later on my follow up. No worries, I have a lifetime supply of osage.

Oh chit! Was I suppose to send you a tracking number? I sent the tracking number to the person I was shipping it too, and let them know it was coming.

Seemed to work out ok….

All good brother.

I finally got the handle wrap laced on. I’m happy with how it turned out. I’m curious how it’ll patina over time being out of Herman oak veg tan and finished with a beeswax and olive oil finish. It just needs a string now. Then I’ll hopefully be working on option 2 tomorrow. Looking after one sick child, one toddler, and one child oblivious to the world around him made it a bit difficult to accomplish much until everyone went to bed.
