     Very nice bow Leonwood, you do very nice work and seem to be a quick learner. I like that your not afraid to try some of the more difficult things.
     I'd join the Del fan club any day

Thanks Bjrogg! For me trying new things is a challenge and lot's of fun. I don' care much how long it takes to make a single bow so I will continue working on it until I am happy with it! (or dump it in the firelace when I am not happy and start on another one;-) )

Oh and I think we already have a few members for the Del fanclub!!!  (=)

Tentatively count me in for the Dell Fan Club, depending on dues and what nasty initiation rituals ya'll come up with.

But seriously, that is some excellent work on patching that bow up and rescuing it from the rubbish bin.  Del has a phrase I am particularly fond of, namely "mended beyond repair" for those bows we just cannot stop "fixing".  I have a friend that has a bow that has gone through eleven different repairs and modifications. He calls it "Our Lady of Perpetual Breakage".  Looks like yours won't fall into either of those categories. I'll call it a success!  Well done, truly.

Considering the guy is an atheist and his wife is a new age pagan, that is quite saying something!
