Well, hera you can either cut the limbs off the handle and try to reuse the handle or you can finish the bow and introduce some youth to the art of archery. Make your negative a positive.

I decide to repair my poor longbow.

Thin oak veneer and 0.050glass,and cook again.

Do something to kill time.

Buffalo bone.

Keep up the pictures,I bet they will look pretty on your limb tips.

It is not easy to cut a cow bone,I use an old blade to cut it.

Rough tiller to the primary shape.

Not too bad with oak veneer.

so if I read this right, you added a layer of wood and another layer of glass to the back of the bow after it has been baked once already? I didn't know you could do that. COOL.
