Combining Archery And Leatherworking In A New Way.

Recommended Posts

Haven't seen much posted here lately so I thought I would throw my latest project. I bought a ILF riser and limbs but don't want to hang a lot of stuff off the bow. Besides the SCA does not allow you to shoot bows with holes in the riser. So I put side panels on the bow to cover the hole above the shelf and a wood grain leather patch to cover the small hole on the bottom of the riser. I then put a leather rest on. Lastly I built up a leather grip molded specifically for my hand. My wife says I made a plastic bow into a work of art. I'm not sure I would go that far but it is better looking than the plain jane bow. The riser picture posted is of a viking pin. On the other side (no picture) is the upright viking knotwork depicted on the crossburg cross.
