Can anyone suggest the most reliable way to attempt to repair a split forming on the belly of my beloved longbow. The longbow is well out of any kind of warranty and i would like to repair it my self.
The belly is Yew and it is a tri laminate 55# @28'' carridge bow, the split/crack is not wide enough to get glue right in to the damaged part.
I origionally thought about binding/whipping the damaged section but before i attempt anything i would like some oppinions from any one out there that has any good advice. If binding the bow is a good option what materials would i use, how far above and bellow the damage should i go etc.
