Thanks for the kind words everyone! I really like using the Titebond- it didn't require me to immerse the sinew in glue, but moved around the strands as they were applied. It is also very water-resistant (was shooting in some light rain the other day- no problem).
As far as the handle goes- it isn't a true D-style. The handle area doesn't bend as much as the limbs, but the thinner handle doesn't have as much wood in between the limbs- I beeleiv this creates an effect similiar to thin limbs. It was fine even before the sinew.
Got to try another one of these when I get more sinew (really helped prevent string follow) at a higher poundage. Oooh- more projects
!
