What to do!
Pat B:
Had a little setback this evening. After working on this @#$%^&* bow most of the day I had it on the tree and pulling about brace height(boy was she bending nice) when she blew :'(. Not as bad as it could have been :). I realized that the overlay I had over the splice earlier was a bit short and it lifted off from one end at the first bending, so I remover it. In it place I put a 10" piece of horizontal boo flooring and shaped it into a handle. Figuring that if the bow wanted to flex a little through the handle this would flex enough to hold on....WRONG >:(. The simple bevel splice gave way and seperated the lams at the handle area only. Doesn't look like other damage so I will reglue the handle area, add another, stronger overlay and see what #4 will be like.
Cross your fingers. I'm starting to feel like Justin :o Pat

Pat, this bow is obviously posessed by the Dev-ill. You need to tie it to a stake and burn it before it starts spinning, floating, and speaking to you in unknown tongues. ;D ;D
Pat B:
It's the principle of the thing, now! This sucker ain't gonna beat me >:(
She had such a pretty bend too. Pat
Jbell:
Now that is the spirit Pat. Somtimes ya just gotta get MEAN! Now go beat that thing into submission and take no prisoners! ;D
Justin Snyder:
I hear you Pat. Glad I'm not the only one to dumb to know when he has been beat. Nothing like getting your but kicked by a piece of wood. After you get her glued back up, stitch a piece of rawhide over the handle area. When it dries and shrinks there wont be any popping going on. Yes, I know it is drastic, but tough times call for drastic measures. Justin
