I have made a full grip. I basically made side plates (Cherry)that came past the back of the riser and than made a piece (walnut) that was the same thickness of the riser for the middle. I than laminated together and shaped. I made templates out of poster board. I wanted a grip that was flat and narrow so shaping was easy.

Hi,
Has anyone come up with a way to make a grip out of either wood or fiberglass/graphite? I don't mean the little side plates but the full size grip. I just got my new Barnsdale Custom X for target shooting and the little handle is doing a number on my arthritis.
There was a guy, Kris, who had a company here at AT, but he doesn't respond to my e-mails.
Hoyt has wood grips for sale and I guess I could try one of theirs, but I imagine they would be costly.
Any help, any thoughts?

I make them for the Barnsdale.

I'd love to have a full grip as well for my Hoyt ProElite, those little "Nancy Boy", Hoyt supplied side plates just don't cut it.

I use Paul's grips on both of my Martin S4's and they are awesome!! You can get single colors, two color swirl's and high and low wrist grips!! They are simple the best!!:smile:

Grips

I have been making one myself for my old Oneida Aeroforce.
I just took a piece of cardboard and made a template.
I am by no means a wood worker. So, all I had was a hacksaw, chisel, dremel tool, and sandpaper.
I just started cutting, chiseling, and sanding (walnut). It looks good so far.
It is alotta work, but will be worth it in the end.
I'll post pics as soon as I can.

I'd like to see a photo of that when you're done, though I love my maple grips on my 1992 Aeroforce.

here is a one piece I made yesterday out of treated wood, I haven't put anything on it yet but I am thinking of using a clear epoxy
I don't have walnut or hickory but I should get a few years out of this

I made the strap with para chord

 

[sandt38]

Sweet lookin grip, man!

 

[revj]

thanks I am hoping that when I put the clear epoxy on it the grain will jump out!!

 

[sandt38]

It will. As someone who works with wood a lot I assure you of this.

I love the shape the straight grain took on the side of the thumb relief. That is really sweet. I am all about grain texture.

If you want the grain to Jump out at you, use a torch. This will darken it and then lightly sand and clear coat. You will not believe the contrast you will get. Good luck.
