adb - I struggled with anything over the 110 barrier which seemed to be a limit on many staves. I wouldn't worry there are ways of going heavy with average quality wood.

Hello from Sweden! Long time lurker here, and hobby bowyer.
When I started to make bows I whent on to make all the fails pretty much everyone does. But then I found this http://www.alanesq.com/bsb.htm .
The things you read in TBB 1-4 all makee sense after you got some bows under your belt, but this guy makes sense at once.
Sorry for any spelling errors.(English is not my 1st language) WBR Lars
PS. Nice bow!

Impressive bow!

Very nice bow!, what combination did you use? I typically use Hickory and Ipe and can get them up around 130# and even a bit higher with the use of bamboo. What kind of war arrow are you guys using? Anyway again very nice bow.

As promised in my first post on this topic, I wanted to get a pic of this bow at rest to show how much set this bow took... or better, how much set it didn't take. For a 110# warbow, it took less than 1/2" of set with a stave starting with zero reflex. I was very surprised, and very pleased!
I finally caught up with my buddy Greg, and was able to get a pic.
