I rasped off the deer damage, there wasn't much sapwood left, it would have broken there for sure. I've glued on a big strip of sapwood from an offcut.
This seems to be turning into a build along :laugh:
Here's a pic. I cleaned out that last remaining spot and filled it with epoxy/sawdust mix before glueing on the back patch.

(maybe I should clean up the bench ::))

Thats insane. This is gonna be a wicked bow.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
