What are your staves? Osage flat bow. My favorite design, 1 1/4" from fade to last 10" then taper to nock at 3/8". . 50-55 # @ 28"

I'm all over this thread. Been wanting to see a few flat bows myself. A buddy of mine just roughed one out of a red oak board for me. He backed it with drywall tape and added an ipe and walnut handle. A little crude, but so fun to shoot.
