I don't think the sliver is more than 1/32" deep. Would you leave the Maple full thickness on the leavers and just sinew the working limb?

What ya going to wrap it with.?

How is this bow overbuit, and where are the stiff spots here and there that you see?

Differences of opinion, what I see is what I see If I could physically hold it and draw it maybe opinion would be different and not everything you read, see or hear online is what it is. I have learned that after been online for over 18 years. (lol)

Yes. With a gradual step up in thickness through the v splice area.

Good luck with all that, i onow nothing about sinew. Id just loke to see you chrono at 28 with a 400 grain arrow before hand.
bradsmith2010:
First try a thin layer of Sinew that will allow u to go to 28
If that is no good,,,then put more and induce reflex,,u will gain weight and have to tiller
If that's no good,,,then grind off maple,.,Sinew back and induce reflex...one of those should work,..
If ur backing holds up as is,,,this bow is working,,,
If u pull it to 28,,.it will be close to 175
Keep in mind ,..if u Sinew...u can draw it further if need be,,.I have never put Sinew over a backing,..but seems like it would work...and I am thinking,,,.putting on the Sinew before shooting it in would give best speed,,,but am spitballing
