Compound bow grips

[Tom Cancelleri]

Yeah it works surprisingly well.  Planes and sands nicely.  I reserve my block of ebony for small accents.  I always laugh at myself at the tiny scraps I'll hold onto...have a little baggy of them with pieces as small as a nickel in it. LOL

 

At 140 bucks a board foot I kept the little cut off pieces too.

Now I need to find projects to use the rest of this ebony on. I love the way it works. Aside from a turning a pen, and sitting a fretboard and sanding it, this was the only time I really got to play with ebony

I could see new Ebony pistol grips or similar in the future

I do have a fixed blade knife blank I could use it on.

The grips look great !   But do you need camo in the suburbs hunting zombies ?

Now that you mention camo, I was surprised the other day when I found out how easy is to DIY Micarta at home, with camo effects too. That material works great for knife scales, a lot better than wood, and I guess it could work well for bow grips too, but I wouldn't know.

Those look fantastic. I think the right tape will be just fine. We use PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) at work or lots of things. It goes through shock and vibe along with thermal cycling -40C to 85C. It holds up just fine.
