New Handle on my Korean bow

Post by Ray Cover » Thu Dec 01, 2005 3:52 am

I just replaced the handled covering on my Korean bow with black frog hide. The old one was peeling and was not very attractive. While I had the old leather off I sanded the grip to smooth the shape out more. It was choppy like it was shaped with a razor knife.

I really like the looks of the warts on the frog hide. It also gives a very comfortable and tactile handle. Definitely and improvement.

He can enjoy it too as long as it doesn't "ribbit" every time I shoot. :lol:
