Nasr:
Thank you for that information I was a little worried that I may be going to narrow too start with even though the staves are pretty dense. I'm only shooting for 45 lb 50 lb maybe a little bit over so when the bow is complete most likely I'll be under 1.75 inches probably closer to 1.5.

Manny was THE man for crazy guava bows (and surfing). Then he danced off to Italy for family stuff and gave up bowmaking. Later he and I reconnected when he went back to Hawai'i and he became THE man for high caliber air rifles and taking wild hogs at ridiculously close ranges (think in terms of distances in feet that you can count on just your hands). Haven't heard from him in ages now, wonder what he's up to? Whatever it is, it will be interesting and he will be an expert in it.
