These are boards not from a stave. I did a V splice and glued up the handle risers. If it breaks anywhere it will bevwhere I mess up tillering in the limbs. That joint will hold a truck. I am also backing it with Hickory.
My original question was really to find out if this was acceptible primitive / traditional practice.
I finally bought volume 1  of Traditional Bowyer's Bible. Page 208 showes the joint I used at the top. So I don't suppose I'm breaking any rules.

Yup. I live on both sides of that fence.
I believe in solid rules with solid experience to back them up. However, I strongly believe if we blindly follow the rules we can really never move forward.
So I like to push it to the limit and beyond. POP!!!!! CRACK!!!! "well that didn't work. Next.
