All wood takedown bow build along! PICS ADDED!!

PD I really had some doubts about it too but if there's no risk there's no reward. Fortunately even though the backing was questionable, and the design highly stressed, I must have been in the favor of the gods because I managed to eek out a bow.

Here it is late in the evening just before I had to end for the day, drawn to 26". No frets, no splinters ... Knock on wood.
Ended up at about 45# @ 26". Had to heat some slight limb twist out of each limb but it was quick work. Just be careful not to overdo the heat or the correction.
Now it's time to put on a few coats of finish on it.

Might wanna shoot that a good hundred plus times before ya go sealing it up...n right limb is a hair flat mid limb by about ten+ more scrapes

Good catch thanks! I'll scrape that a bit before I get it finished. I would like to shoot it before finishing. Well see because the range is a good drive from here.

wow that is cool!!
would a light silk backing add security for the backing lams- or would the extra weight be an issue
