You might have better luck posting this in the regular bows forum.

Howdy,  I've made one bow with this combination.  It's a pyramid, flat-limbed design, so not quite what you're looking for.  None the less 72" long tip-tip.  1.5 inches wide out of the fades and 3/8 wide at the nocks.  40# @ 28".  To get a higher crowned limb you'd need to start a little narrower.
