Nice bow and nice tiller :)
If you want to build up the handle you could do as it do and use leather an binding.
I cut small strips of leather and glue them on top of each other in a kind of contour, like an OS map.
Then you can use sandpaper or just whittle the shape, then wrap with leather. Feels nice in the hand an it will not pop off :)
