How do you sew the lever wrap on your lever gun?
Watch this video in order to visually see how it is done from our shop in Alaska.
or
- Cut the piece of leather to the desired length making sure not to have the leather wrap too high as to not allow the lever to lock into place.
- Place the two needles on each end of the sinew thread.
- After placing the half moon portion of the leather strip closest to the trigger guard, feed the sinew thru the first holes and around the lever equally.
- Secure it into place by cross stitching in the first hole and pulling tight.
- Continue down the lever using a baseball style stitch and pulling the sinew thread tight after each of the completed stitches.
- When you are 3 holes from the end place the other piece of sinew with the knot pointed towards the starting point and the round end exposed slightly on the end.
- After the last hole tie it off and lock the thread at the end with a couple knots.
- Feed the excess thread thru the loop placed there from step 6 and cut off any excess.
- Pull the knotted end out which will also pull the remaining excess string to leave a very clean and nice looking wrap.
