Yup, and for that reason, I dont mind the break so much. The handle stood up to the stress. Ifthe handle had failed I would have flipped my lid, but the wood failed, and I am thinking I know why, so next time, I will have less bend out the fades on a splice job and more towards mid limb and tips.

Glad to hear the handle held. It's too bad about the bow though, all part of the process. Good luck with your next one!
