Thanks 33 and acker.
Pat-what can i put on my handle to give it some durability without discoloring it.I was thinking lacquer but i want something that will really sink in and lock everything in place.Also have you ever used any Jute twine,picked some up today and think it would be good for handle.

That is one awesome bow.

You might try to leave your tips a little stiffer starting with the middle 3rd getting the bow to bend a little more then move out the limbs. This just might help.
