I honestly can't see any point in the bend that looks worse than any others I'm gonna throw a curve ball and say it was something strange, like the handle or the tips.

unless it's obvious they never break where you expect. In this case I would guess for the handle area...

Bottom limb. It looks shorter and stiffer.

It should be :)

8 or so inches up from the handle.
Of course barring any delams or dodge spots in the pau am!
I've had quite a variety of results with it as a belly. Some has been awesome but some takes far too much set for my liking. I've always backed them with either boo or hickory and have thought before that maple/ash/elm would be better suited to it.

Do you have a unbraced profile? If this is a full draw picture. Although tiller is not perfect it doesn’t seem stressed enough to break. Especially being backed with bamboo. Did it fail in tension or comprehension? Was it something else, like a delam?

Assuming a straight, flat unbraced profile and no other problems. I’m going with center of handle or lower limb right below bottom of sheet.
