  pat b,
       thank you for your time. only thinking of materials i have verses ones to gather, maybe substitutions. say vinemaple,and yew?
 just putting this out there for theoretical discussion if anyones interested. and this might be a way to make another type of long
 draw short bow. i probably should stop thinking about it and just do it. thanks again

The actual materials used don't necessarily make the bow. I'm sure there are other materials that will work in this situation. The person that came up with this idea did lots of research as to the proper materials for the end result desired. If you are willing to experiment with different options and are willing to fail, possibly multiple times, with success as your ultimate goal, I'm sure you will come up alternative materials for the same final results.
  Don't stop thinking! We wouldn't where we are today in natural archery if folks just quit thinking and followed the pack. If one idea doesn't work, try another and another until you find one that does work.

  That would be one tough design, I wish you luck.....Vine maple would be out in my opinion, good (really good) yew may work for a belly, but I think you would need horn...

         i'll try to give a brief discription. an optimized (theorecally)composit bow, made of wood,sinew,and horn. highly reflexed,with
 design elements from other bow designs including the andaman/holmgaard. it has potential for short bow long draw.
         thank you for asking.
