I thank all you guys for your help!
You and my bowyer buddy have a game plan that should work quite well.
Once it is done I can post a pic!

My plan though is...
wrap ends in artificial sinew, perhaps about 4 inches in length.
Then once it is secured, finish with tru-oil.

If I get any other clever ideas I will definitely post them but this seems like the simplest way to save the bow.

Not the best pic but I hope to have a pic of it in action as well soon.
It does get the whole bow in the shot though.
