Wood Cork
Handle Wrap
I decided to
offer cork handle wraps after inspecting a 1935 Gilman Keasey
longbow. He was known for using cork handle grips, and the
reason is clear...it makes a wonderful grip! In addition to being a
stand alone grip material, it can also be used to build up the
handle area of a bow prior to wrapping with cordage or leather for
nice cushioned feel.
$5.50
Cork Handle Wrap
$5.50 (plus $0.00 shipping)
Cork handle wrap.
Works great
for building up handles prior to covering with leather or
cane.
