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.

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.
