Brilliant job Jimmy. If I had seen this before you started, I would have told you about a glue called Caskamite used by the trade, dries rock hard and is very very strong. It is a while since I have had any of the stuff and don't actually know if it is still available but amazing stuff all the same.

Just had a quick toot,- caskamite glue is still very much available to buy.

Loads of availability on Amazon for one.

Crumbs, I used Cascamite in woodwork at school, a quick look suggests it may have been reformulated, but who knows, it has certainly been re-packaged, they didn't have plastic containers when I was at school!

I don't know what you do for a job Jimmy but what ever it is your wasted at at it pal.

You should be doing this for a living.

Can you get a kit to smooth the action out on the longbow just to help out a bit more?

Iv never looked into it but i may give it a polish any way as that often smooths them out
