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!

That's a beauty for sure and like everybody else - look at that tiller! I'm working in central IL and surrounded by black locust, will procure a few staves before I leave..
