Beautiful bow you have there, and I too can attest to Chuck's fine workmanship.
I bought a RER LXR, which has an awesome grip, but I wear the green ARMY wool gloves that need some kind of frictiion to keep from slipping, and the clear finish just wasn't cutting it. So I got ahold of Chuck and he took the riser home with him at The Kzoo show, and a couple days later I received the perfect addition to my riser. He had put on a leather grip for me, and all I told him is that I didn'y want white or black leather, but somewhere in the middle color. When I opened the box, I revealed a color scheme of leather that was the same color as the 2 things in my life that bring me the most comfort...My leather recliner and Red Wing boots, so how could I go wrong.
I love the job, the stitching is fantastic, and it now is also on my list of most comfortable things in my life.
Chuck didn't make the bow I bought, he made the bow I bought...BETTER.
I have come to realize in life there are things that you just shouldn't attempt, and installing a leather grip, to me, is on that list. I'm glad I had Chuck do this for me.
