Hot glue, awesome. I like hearing about this sort of stuff, technology never stops moving and we can all learn new tricks.

Thanks Willie!  Ya I had a look at the link you posted here. Very interesting indeed.  I’ve done something very similar using bamboo limbs instead of red oak boards.  It was to be a take down style similar but with only one of the limbs and wraps removable and the other more permanently affixed with bindings.  Unfortunately this bow broke a limb and I salvaged the part to use for another build.  It’s on my list of things to revisit for sure. So many ideas out there and innovative designs.  I love to hear of folks thinking outside the box and not getting stuck on what has been done and wonder what could be.    Very cool.   I don’t think I will ever conform to preconceived ideas.  It’s not my nature.  This doesn’t mean I don’t respect the efforts and knowledge or skill of those before I just don’t want to limit myself to it.  There’s a lot of guys out there that think this way and are doing some amazing stuff!

That is certainly something different, very cool.

I dig it man. And I may be alone on this, but I think that hot pink wrap looks awesome against the gloss black and tan bow. I'd redo it to look better, but keep the color. I'd not mind being seen with that at all.
