Glue the splinter down with GOOD CA glue. Then rawhide back it while wrapping it over the edges to the belly. You'll never hear from it again.

Sounds good Pearl, any CA glue recommendation? Need to order some rawhide. Who carries good rawhide? If this works out I may have a great reason to use my set of bull snake skins.
Backing with hickory would be good but I like the idea of wrapping over the sides since this is near the edge.

I use Loctite Professional exclusively. Ive tried 3-4 others and I prefer this. It dries clear and is incredibly strong. Id suggest using the classifides to get some rawhide strips. Get whitetail rather than beef. Beef is very thick and would require sanding to thin it.

Great, thanks for the help!

Pictures on the knife first. Bow will need to wait. I'm literally swamped with work.

If the bow looks anything like the knife I'd say you hit the double jackpot. Beautiful work for sure.

Awesome knife, Ben... Send her to me:)

I need to play the lottery today because the most beautiful golden osage bow showed up at my house today and I must have said this thing is KILLER 20 times.....

A great big THANKS!!! to Curt (Primitivesniper66) for an AWESOME bow that was more than worth waiting on. This bow will be in the field with me in October.

Still working on mine. Should have a good swing at it this weekend. !@#$%^&* will get a good bow. Sorry for the delay.

I'll be working on bow #3 this week while waiting for rawhide backing to get here for #2.

That bow is awesome....

Envious of that knife! Man!

I absolutely love the black handle/fade area on that osage bow!

Beautiful work, guys!

SportHunter · « **Reply #2876 on:** September 21, 2013, 05:49:00 PM »

The rawhide showed up today so I used loctite 420 on the crack and will be doing the rawhide backing monday, stay tuned...

DVSHUNTER · « **Reply #2877 on:** September 21, 2013, 06:47:00 PM »

Excellent knife and bow. Reminds me I need to order more black dye.

Beautiful knife and bow!!!

John Scifres · « **Reply #2879 on:** September 21, 2013, 07:27:00 PM »

Sporthunter, that is not a good piece of wood for a bow. Wood choice is everything in wooden bows. I'd not trust any fix on that one short of a full wooden backing. I don't think rawhide is gonna do it. Sorry.
