Cool looking bow.  Is it from a sapling?  Do you know what kind of maple?

It's bending very hard at the handle. I'd try and get the limbs working more from mid-limbs to the tips.

not much more than an inch of set.
i quit making "fancy" bows a while back.
i stop working the bow as soon as it wants to be a bow.
