To my horror, this is what I found when I went to get my custom Legend out of the shop. I have hopes it can be fixed but don't hold out much hope for it.
The bowyer is no longer doing business(retired) or I'd be calling him. I still might if I can come up with a phone number.
God bless and thanks in advance!

ps I don't think these pictures are going to work so if you know how to help, please do.

I'm missing something here. I don't see any cracks or lines in the finish. What is it I'm looking at/for in the photo?

You didn't store it in the heat, hot car, sunlight, with it strung did you???

Mudd,If what I'm seeing is all the damage, limb delaminating, then yes I'd say your in luck.

There are many glues that would work, urac or smooth on being two choices. It would be nice to know what the original is.

If it were my bow I'd slid in some 240 or so grit sand paper and clean up the area inside the split. Make sure it doesn't want to come apart any further, and if it does go farther and clean it up. Mix up some glue and use a flat pallet style knife etc. to get the glue on all surfaces inside. Clamp and put a light bulb near it to help it cure.
I'm now located near Warsaw Mo. I have some old smooth on if I can be of help.

It wasn't stored in heat or sunlight but was strung. I'm not sure what orginal glue was used. I'm gonna try to find a way to contact Jim. He might have a clue unless his memory has gone the same way mine has...lol

I don't know that I'll have the patience to wait until I can get this one fixed. I think I'll just start to search for something similar or lower poundage. I want to last as long as I can. It means a lot to me after having missed out for the last 6-7 years.
God bless,Mudd

Mudd,
Finally saw it after the 3rd picture. Sorry to see it, but hopefully it may be fixed easily. As for the patience- good things are worth waiting for.
