Very nice!  Put several inches of reflex in.  Your stave will support that.

  This is not my design though, it's just a favorite.  A bunch of other guys like it too.

  You know how to make bows.  Just because it's a little different won't pose you much difficulty.

with some reflex added... I'm looking forward to your first arrow distance report.   (SH)
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

So more reflex and no deflex? I know where the deflex would go but where do you want the more reflex? 2-3/4at handle now.

No deflex.   Just do a uniform reflex along the limb from fade to the base of the static

I got these limbs straight as possible because I’m testing a new tiller way I’ve been thinking about. Question?? If you had a straight limb off caul like this bow blank at this point is . And you reduce to heavy floor tiller say 10# heavy . As you tiller with a farriers rasp lengthwise on the limbs would it take care of the set by taking the high spots just like the gizmo would show? Who did this 50 years ago and will it work?  Arvin

We’ll  do that test another day. Ok with some pop cycle sticks and another caul I will put some more reflex in the limb.

I'd slide it out the caul a bit to get a bit more reflex through the inner limb too.
