4 lam all wood bow any suggestions?

Will This started out to be r/d a bamboo backed hickory with a yew core.I had tillering issues and missed my weight.SO i went ahead and tillerd it out(It ended up 25#lighter than i wanted)and held way more reflex than i wanted which threw me off on tillering(hence the low weight)I think my form was too aggressive bend at mid limb.So I clamped it in a straight form and laminated a 1/8" thick osage slat on the back.I think its looking much better.Its now 15# heavier than i want it to be and still kept some R/D. Will trapping the limbs fix this problem.Or should I take it off the belly?Also should I build my handle out of thin laminations?By the way the Rt limb is bottom limb 1/4" positive tiller.I can see now by the pictures I need to tweek the tiller a little.The right/bottom limb appears to me in the pics to have a slight hinge.It does not .I guess it was the angle of the pic,shadow or the bamboo nodes im not sure .Any advice is greatly appriciated. Thanks ,Scott

Trapping the limbs won't get the weight down enough, maybe 5-8#. So you will probably need to a combination of things. I guess I would start with trapping the limbs and then proceed to working off the belly. Good luck.
