How to repair a bow... in pictures. I actually ran into a few snags while doing this, and should have gone through the trouble of documenting the troubleshooting aspect. This still isn't an ideal repair scenario, since the pearl slide turned out to be a thin bit of pearl glued on to a weak wooden backing.
I replaced the beveled slide with horn, which seems to be a pretty forgiving material. Horn is not a standard material for this job (usually solid pear for the slide - and bone or ivory for the tip), it's simply what I had on hand.
