A couple months ago  I built an Osage self  bow 45 lbs. at 25 inch draw 58 inches long that had a cluster knot on the back. I did not violate  the knots as I wanted a self bow. It lifted a splinter at the knot cluster, so  I opened up the splinter, and soaked it with crazy glue, and wrapped it  with hide glue soaked sinew. So far so good, but had I sinew backed it their would be no patch. JMO
