Lukasz Nawalny:
I had yew stave not best quality, a lot of small knots, bad colour on sapwood. I make relfex wit hot steam , paint ugly back and give thin sinew backing. Stave dry about year in reflex. Last week I work on this stave. Unexpecting results - bow keep big reflex - about  1 minut in full draw, after unstringing 2 inch reflex , few minuts in rest about 3 inch reflex. 115 lb at 30" , 75" NTN , crazy string tension. Shame that it is too strong for me. I expect see it in action on polish flight championship in next year, I think few records could be broken

Awesome!

JW_Halverson:
I think many people start bending on their sinew too early, not letting it cure fully before putting it to the test.  A year of curing never caused a bow to fail!  She's a beauty, Lukasz. 

Always love to see your work!  Let us know how she shoots next year at the flight competition!

Very cool! A sinew backed warbow! Did you have any trouble tillering it? I had a big problem with lateral stability on a reflexed warbow stave. It continuously wanted to roll over at low brace.

I get the same thing. I just don't low brace it. I longstring tiller the stave in front of a big long mirror (as it would not work on a tiller tree) until I am satisfied a full 6" brace would be possible, and then brace it and go from there. That's how I handle that problem at least.
