I've not seen cork shaped to replicate a glued-on wood handle.  Good thinkin', since that apperently the type shape you were after.
Bow is looking good.

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

A note about the cork: TBIII may not be the best option for this application, or I didn't use enough glue, or I didn't wait long enough for it to cure.  I had trouble keeping the cork together while shaping.  I had to use super glue to keep some spots together while I was trimming.  After all the shaping I put a generous skim coat of harbor freight wood glue over the whole handle area to seal it. Other than that it seemed to work fine and feels great in the hand.
