TB 3 will  work then? other then sinew what can be used to wrap the leather? I'm doing another long bow. 2 1/4" at the widest down to 1/4" nocks straight taper 60" tip2tip thinking of doing the tie on nocks at 3" each end to make a 54"N2N bow. will be backing it with TB3 & fiberglass fabric looking to make a 50# bow.

Really looks good (all over, actually), Mick. Great name for a bow too!
