Bows / Re: bamboo backed and bellied hickory bow

Beautiful bow, Dave. A couple questions:
1) Did you pre-bend the back lam and/or core lam before gluing them up with the 4.5" of reflex?
2) It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like you flattened the belly lam completely, removing all the crown, nodes, etc. Is that correct?
