Question about Osage and bamboo?? And bow build

Thank you, selfbowman. Shoots fine also and it carries current Finnish Record in Flint Round (IFAA rules), 224.

Im starting a build on a bow similar to yours now arvin.  I will post a new thread with pics and measurements on there as I dont want to hijack your thread here.  Check it out if you like.  Im hoping to get good results for potential flight.  we shall see how it goes.  love your builds brother keep em coming!

Dave here is the bow that broke broadhead records On the caul it was built from. The top caul and bow blank is what I’m working on. The record bow is 1-3/16 at the fades and straight pyramid to 5/16 at tip. Mid limb 1” wide. The bow preformed good but took lots of set. The bow 🙇‍♀️ Im currently working on is 1-1/2” at fades 1-1/4” mid limb and 1/2” at tips right now to be reduced.so the extra width at the areas it took set should help in set. Reversing the bamboo to the belly well it’s a experiment. Just to let you guys see before and after comparison.

Yes. You will make this work I have no doubt.  I had it in my head for some reason you were doing a similar bow to the record bow but now realize it’s the reverse.  Very cool.  Talk about a mental block!
