Going with your system I'm 1/8" narrow but that depends on how accurately I measured the working lengths. It will be close.

So I have 28" of WL. Does that mean 14" or 28" DL. Or something completely different?
DC:
Also I have about 10° of deflex, that's going to buy me some draw length isn't it?

1/8 isnt much, but per my calculations, you have enough wood to make a 37 pounder without set ( hypothetically speaking because again, 1/4 is what I use for osage ).
This should be a good build. Just be very cautios during the tiller. Id use Badgers no set tiller method, make extensive use of a long string, never overdraw past your 40 pounds.. you know, all the rules... i am beyond excited to see this bow come around. Please keep a log and post it of your draw weight and length as you go. Also, pics please.
This design really likes the tips to bend first and fade to bend slightly and last. Its doesnt give much room for error. Take it slow... but hurry up and shoot it ready! Im dyin over here!

Yes, it will help lots, but deflex oddly enough, stresses the fades before any other part of the biw making them very susceptible to set early on in the game. Be careful.
