Well done, Uli!
It doesn?t look pretty but the bow now bends evenly and is back in working order.

I have an old Korean bow that has many little bamboo splints on the belly side bound on with string. As Jack said, this is a common form of repair.
A friend of mine had a Qing Dynasty bow in which had a problem in the core in one limb. He made a splint for it and bound it with leather lace. The bow was in use for years after that and can still be braced. When I first met him many years ago, he was still using it as his regular target bow.
