I'll bet the bowyer has a Native American bow book and is making replicas, but does not fully understand how to finish the back. I have seen that style handle in a book somewhere myself and it may actually fit into the palm nicely. Try shooting it before changing the handle to see how it does.
If that bow was sinew backed or deer hide backed it would make a nice horseback bow, I would think.

Good Luck.. :)
