You know.....why isn't that bow salvageable?.....couldn't you just wrap it with sinew every 3/4" and call it good?  Start the patches at the handle and work outward?  Or maybe install a cool criss-cross sinew wrap pattern?

Offered in seriousness,

Nope not salvageable, cut it in half at the handle and have a nice walking stick fer a short person :D
I heard that you had a little blow up with a bow the other day Ryan, 5 pieces as I understand :o

Thanks for the thought Diligence :)

Can't imagine where you heard that Dana...?  ::)
It was more like 3 or 4......lol. Sounded like a 12 gauge shot gun going off. I've discovered hard maple doesn't like to be really dry.
