why not just go with a dense wood like osage or ipe, make it wide and holmegaard-ish? maybe with slightly flipped tips.
say with bamboo backed ipe and 2" wide, 4" stiff handle and 1.5" fades, holmegaard style (eiffel tips pyramid with stiff 4" tips), how short could I go for 60#@32"? With no set
I wanna make a maple self bow with a 32" draw, maybe 76" long. I don't like how unwieldly long bows are. But I really like how smooth and sweet they are.
