I have wondered about this before and wanted some more opinions, I think it could help quite down a bow.

I've used veg tanned leather saturated in super glue for handles and tip overlays. It works well and looks good too.

That sounds like an interesting idea to me.  I never considered it, but I might have to give it a try.

I've used leather saturated in super glue for handles and arrow pass shelves. It becomes almost as hard as wood. I've never used it for tip overlays, but it should work.
