I'd chase down a ring and practice getting around that knot gently, then pike it down to 58", reflex the tips a bit, and if it has a decent back I would do a couple layers sinew with a even and weighed amount per limb. Tie it into reflex, leave it alone for 2 months and start something else.

But then again, maybe it is just a goner

Hi guys sorry I scraped it out. Only one ring, sanded to blend in and now have a rawhide patch on it just drying and waiting for glue to set.

So there it is guys! Pretty much finished. 63" non 49# @ 27" (kinda nervous going more after first experience.) antler tip overlays and antler base arrow rest. Rawhide bandaid over crack after it was sanded out.matching rawhide on bottom limb just to make it even. Very happy with how it's tuned out especially after the first crack!

beautiful bow, man, and nice save!. You could gain some speed by reducing the tips. Anything past where the string sits is cosmetic.I like the arrow pass- how is the antler attached?

Sorry the pic shows the tips very wide the are just hair over 3/8 and the arrow rest is just glued! I was thinking of putting some brass pins in but I'll wait till it comes off maybe one day.

I don't know how the pictures look to you guys but having to reduce them do much makes them look bad on my phone just curious if they look bad to you guys as well
