I have many,many thoughts about reflex....
Specificity is a great thing when it comes to asking questions ;)

What if there is information that i could use and don't ask THAT question. Basically I was getting at is it necessary?
I finished the bow up with about 2.5" of deflex... glued it up flat. Next one I'll thicken the core... thin the belly at the center and glue in about 2" of reflex if using Hickory sap wood.
Ipe dosen't need it I know.

I had to abandon an ipe bellied tri-lam cuz I added a bit of reflex, and I couldn't brace it early on without it rolling over. Shame, it was looking like a decent bow. From now on, no reflex on warbows for me.

adb:
Nope.

I frequently roll over the bamboo recurves I make, they are for little kids, they pull around 15-20 pounds, are bamboo, 2 layers.
If I make the limbs too narrow and the recurve too severe, I generally end up with a twisted piece of crud.
If I make the limbs wide enough, they shoot good.

Hi
What would be the best combination for a trilam?
I think hick-osage-osage!
What Do you guys think?
