Well I really like the new glasses with just a sliver of reader hung on the very bottom of the lens!

Prayers going up for healing and comfort.

Haven't been here in a while and finally got some breathing room after a new home build and ready for some me time lol.
Last glass build was in 2014 and I kept it pretty conservative on materials, bamboo cores, black glass and rose wood  recurve. Getting ready to do a takedown recurve and want to use everything that I have milled off my place and sawmill.
Need opinions on core wood, done have my veneers that will go under clear glass. But need opinions on core wood? I have Red elm, hickory and sasafrass cut dried a d ready to grind, I have some walnut but not really pleased with it, grain has some run out. I have backed hickory with bamboo on a couple long bows and fire hardened an elm bow last year that were good shooters but not used them under glass.
Has anyone used these and have any opinions on them?

I've been turkey hunting since the eighties and have used my regular deer hunting setup. Bows have ranged from 65# back then to 45# last year. Snuffers have been my primary broadheads with bullheads coming in second. Shot placement is critical! I have a string tracker on the snuffers and it's worked out well for when they fly after being shot. Shot placement is Critical!

Taken about a dozen birds with a recurve -- 40-48#, arrows in the 500 grain range,Woodsman 3-blade and 4-blade Zwickeys.

Thanks for the update.  I will keep praying.

Rob nailed it....
