Dogwood rescue bow

This was planned to be a one piece dogwood bow but I made a bad cut in the grip area and it broke. Having done all the work shaping the limbs and steaming in the recurves, I had to make a bow of it . Joining the two limbs with a long v joint and Titebond glue, I wrapped the joint with two layers of light fiberglass. Made a grip from a nice piece of scrap oak and bonded the limbs and the grip with Titebond . Added a little rawhide trim as might be used on Comanche horse bows. It would be a great bow for a child or beginner to target shoot.
