Jack ,just one big bang . ;D the lemonwood's break starts about 2 1/2" from the handle build up ,and the very points of the longest hickory splinters are almost even with the edge of the fade in the handle section.
It's no so bad ,the fun is in the making .And there was a lot of making in this one .
So as soon as I find some very straight grained wood ,I'll start again . I'd like to glue up several cores this time using different wood combinations .

Thanks for a great "journey" through the process. I had a gemsbok/osage/bamboo reflex/deflex that made it to the finals of the Ambush Bow Challenge, but finally exploded. I know how frustrating it is, but you learn something from each attempt. It makes you appreciate the craftsmanship and patience of the ancient bowmakers as they struggled to make efficient weapons out of natural materials. Congratulations on a great project.
