Hello. I want to create bow handle from carbon fiber and i have some ideas how to do that. First idea is to create 2 molds and then somehow join 2 parts i make from them. Secon idea is kame it from carbon fibre braided sleeve, but i have no experience with that. 2 mold are propably better idea but i need a way to connect those 2 modled pieces together and i need finished product to look great from outside. If anyone have better idea how to do that please share it with me.
I am using resin infusion technique, but if prepreg is only way i am happy to try it
Finished product should look like this:
