I have a long bow that can't be fixed . The top limb is delaminated .
My question is , what could I do with it besides throw it away .
Thought of cutting the top limb off flush with the arrow rest and making a cane .
It is a slight RD limb design so  how bout some ideas .
Thanks for your input .

The cane is a good idea.  Maybe use some of the wood for knife handles to commemorate your bow.

I like both of the above ideas, r you could always cut the limbs off and use the riser for a table lamp. Or mayby leave all of the lower limb on a base for a floor lamp?

I was going to suggest using it to make a lamp, like Ron.

About 10 years ago I had one delaminate near the ned so I wrapped the limb with artificial sinew and used very liquid super glue.

I also wrapped the other end just so they'd match and it's still holding up.

I can't tell any difference in how it shoots.

God bless,Mudd

Cut off both tips around 4 - 6" up and make them into coat hooks.  Then cut the handle off with enough intact bow above and below (if avail), mount on wall to make a place to hang towels.

you can cut the broken limb off and use it as a arrow finder.

sorry bout the double post

I had a sentimental Bear Alaskan come apart on me.  Mike Senstrom (Maineac) from Tradgang, made a couple of very nice knives out of it.  A matched set, one for me and one for my daughter.  I don't go in the woods without mine.

This idea works very well:

You could always strip the riser and have new limbs installed, if the bow is worth the expense.  
A complete refinish job and the bow would be as new.

Really like the knife handles idea.  Your old bow is still making meat!
