Rattan for the handle wrap.  The kind used for chair caning.  You soak it in warm water until it is pliable , wrap, tucking under each end, let dry, and add a finish.

I'd really like to try that handle wrap.  That is a really excellent bow - I bet that shoots very well and will last a long time.  Tremendous job!
