Don't put yourself out looking for them. If I want to see them bad enough I'll find them. There's only about 5000 posts ;D ;D

The backing would hold that together but side plates are easy to do. An undelray would box it in nicely and cover the exposed belly splice

Oh dear God no. Dont do that to yourself. Going backwards through my posts is a good way to de educate yourself.

Hello DC, checked it again:
Grip 90mm
Main bending zone incl 40mm fade: 420mm
Lever incl. fade 320mm
= 17/30 // 13/30
Main bending zone @ the fades 46mm tapering to 36mm @ outer fades
Thickness @fades 14mm, mid limb 12 mm, @outer fades 11mm (incl. about 3mm sinew)
Levers start 24mm thickness, 21mm width, tapering to the tips.
Lower limb is 20mm shorter than top limb but same 17/13 ratio.
I also did this elm selfbow with exact same measurements:

Limb thicknesses are: 13mm at the inner fades, 12mm midlimb and 12mm before outer fades.
For tillering you should be aware that it will loose positive tiller after shooting in. I therefore just added another 7 gramms of sinew to my lower limb yesterday. My consultant Wolfgang told me that this is normal with this design. Edit: I think it's the sinew streching a bit due to much bigger stress on the lower limb. Maybe for future projects I will do the lower limb same length as the upper...
Always at your service!
Cheers

Thanks Simon :D
