I just finished a bow with a glue on handle that I thought might pop off.  I wraped it with gut hafting material set with TBIII. The gut is available from three rivers or Pine hollow longbows. It made a decent handle that I  have confidence in.  Nice bending piece of wood, well done bow.    Kenneth

Man I like the tiller more than anything.  You absolutely nailed it.  How does it zing an arrow?  Great job!!!

You did a good job, hope it shoots well for you.
If the problem with the handle ever comes up again, you can glue on a couple of pieces of thinner wood for the handle, it'll probably hold together for you.
