Sorry about this, Gordon. Do you think you can make a successful repair?     Pat

Holy smoke Gordon that is a stunning bow. I am going to have to buy a computer with more memory to store all of your bow pictures. ::)

With a fine osage selfbow, my elkhide quiver filled with cedar arrows fletched with turkey, and with the invitation of the forest, I am about as happy as a man can be.

Pat it could be repaired. Some of the wrappings would need to be removed, the bow retillered, and a sinew patch applied over the splinter. That will have to be a job for later.

real nice bow gordon,as usual just love it, real sorry to hear about the splinter :'(
i guess it goes to show even those with lots of talent for bowmaking,also make bad ones time to time.
it sure makes those of us that arent at your level feel a little better knowing that this is normal ;)

                                                                peace,

Sorry to hear that Gordon, Maybe a winter restoration project?  If anyone can save it I would place my bet on you Gordon.   Sure a nice looking bow and at the very least would be a great display bow ;)
