Yes that is the way!
There are some threads on Atarn about tillering crab bows. One by Adam is well worth reading. Brace height is likely to be around 9 inches or so to make the string clear the kasans. Don't worry about breakage/overstressing...the materials can take it.

davidjw:
Nice one, thanks Mike, I've been looking over those, very helpful indeed.  I took my measurements from a bow that kviljo posted there with cross sections every 2", just scaled down a bit.  I still need to make some extra wide tepeliks with a pretty big bend to them.  I think I will wrap the kasan eyes for security beforehand.

BowEd:
Heck of a nice prospect of a bow david.Wish you all the best to it's successful conclusion.

davidjw:
Thanks Beadman, much appreciated.  Definitely going to be taking this slow and steady, still a lot of nitty gritty bits to take care of before she gets a string. 

mikekeswick:
I think I would cut the nocks next and force the asi gezi into the nock slots to get a better read of the bend/twist etc. Keep an eye on that left limb just before the kasan eye.
Good luck!
Looking at your pictures makes me want to try one of these! Its definitely going to be a knee trembler getting a string on it for the first time haha
