Bow leather & thumb leather

The bow leather or also called thumb leather is located next to the frog on the bow stick. As a rule, it is goatskin, sheepskin or rayskin. Kangaroo leather or leather from various lizards are also used as specialities.

The purpose of bow leather or thumb leather is to protect the bow stick from wear and tear by the fingers. In addition, it also protects the musician's fingers by providing a soft finger rest.

Cutting knives for leather repair in bow making

As a musician and bow maker, you should make sure that the bow leather or thumb leather is renewed in time. Otherwise, the leather wear can wear down the bow stick and a notch will appear. If this happens, the bow should be repaired and the leather replaced. For such a repair, pernambuco dust is often used with a capillary-acting instant adhesive such as Cyanolit 201. As a filler material we use in Clear-Pigment, which becomes glass clear when combined with the adhesive and has a high abrasion resistance.

Leather processing in bow making

In bow making, the leather used must be thinned out heavily at the overlapping edge in a flowing manner. The overlap makes the leather edge invisible and the resulting large adhesive surface prevents the adhesive joint from coming loose. A suitable cutting or splitting tool is essential for good work.
