BowEd:
One thing about your advice and preceding assuming attitude is you don't have the piece of wood in front of you like I do.The grain is nice and straight with very slight variation along it's side grain at least an inch and a half down from the back.The knots do not run to the back.Heat treating the reflex will straighten all those things out.0 propeller issues.I've seen a ton of self bow wood put into extreme design and this to me has 0 issues.Been down the road with these type of bows more than enough times to say that.I appreciate your advice over the safety aspect of things but a better final way of design???That's a matter of opinion.I have not seen all that much gain in performance by recurving the tips that's worth the trouble of doing so on a bow of this length.

The only thing I'm doing different on this one is to glue a handle section onto the belly on this one.4 to 5 inch in that deflexed section tapered to a knifes edge then wrapped with sinew for a deeper more comfortable grip.That should hold up I'd say.
