DIY No Glue Leather Bow Grip Wrap / Step by Step Tutorial 

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures and everyone else

Thanks for being heavy on the fine details. I am going to wrap sections of hiking staff for boyfriend. Yup that should get me points. HaHa. And for mine I am thinking of some embellishments in the parts that I am not going to be holding. Yes! I am subscribing. I will be back for more.

Beautiful bow, amazing tutorial, and very nice handle grip ! love the videos, stay safe brother ✌

Thanks Ray.. Now I have to start a new bow!!

Really neat process ray. Can tell you’ve done it a long time. I like the look and feel of leather too for something like this

Excellent video, I learned a bunch. I love the wrap you did, I’m might steal that. Thanks for the shoutout!

Great video Ray! I imagine I can use the same technique to make some canoe paddle leather sleeving . Thanks for sharing!

So gooooood I have a plain black recurve bow and have been wanting it to look a little more traditional/primitive and used this tutorial and I’m so in love with how it came out thank you so much Ray!!!

Great looking job man, gives me an idea for my old recurves and longbows

Flipping very cool tutorial 👍😁 Can’t wait to try it myself.Thanks for sharing God Bless 🙏😇

Will give it a shot with next bow. Thank you!

Cool video, no wonder mine always came out crappy. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you.

Very clear and helpful....thanks, Ray!

So many helpful tips. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful.

Quality!! Thank you for this

Awesome wrap! Just did this and it turned out okay, I'm happy with it considering it's my first leather-working attempt. Quick question for you, what size thread did you use? Mine seems to be a bit smaller than yours and the stitches look a little rougher because of it. Also, some things I wanna pass on to other people who wanna try this: 1. I used too thick of a leather. I went with 3.5mm, probably better to go with something closer to 2mm or even 1.5mm. 2. My first grip I tried ended up being too short in circumference. If you have a very curvaceous grip make your measurements off of the thickest section. It's better to have it 1/16in too big than 1/16 too small, the leather will shrink. 3. Leather isn't cloth, don't be afraid to stitch close to the edge. In my first attempt I punched the holes way too far away from the edge (over 1/2 in) because I was worried about ripping the leather. It didn't work. My second successful attempt was something like 1/4 in from the edge. 4. I got the t-shirt hem wet and then wrung it out pretty good before I wrapped it around the leather. Cotton shrinks as it dries so if you do this it'll tighten down around the grip. Thank you @RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors you earned a sub out of me!

Awesome video. Anyone have experience doing this on a straight rounded and symmetrical handle?

Ray what was the model name of the bow you were putting the Handel on ?

Do you think I could use a thinner piece of leather or does it need to be 8-10oz for a reason?

What is that string called you used to tie it all down? Trying to find something similar but no luck

How well does this work with dyed leather?

Nice job Ray tried it before but could never get the x pattern right while sewing up the grip.
