You could try a sinew patch or maybe some serving thread in Duco.

Nice!  How wide is it?  At 62", did it take much set?  I'm not too far from you, so I assume our humidity is pretty close.  I'm ready to start another Shagbark

i've used the rit dye and alcohol for arrows and most recently for a short pyramid bow for my daughter. she said she wanted a bow in her favorite color. PURPLE. i've used the yellow for laminated birch shafts and they look like osage. very nice bow btw.
