with high reflex on high crown staves you will have a TON of stress on the back of the bow, this could create an issue--->explosion my solution is to reduce the initial strain of the bow, it also, as far as i know, will reduce the weight of the bow. Try it out on your worst stave of the stuff, see what it likes and what it doesnt like. Those 1.25 inchers, see if you can get a 45-50 lb bow with heat treating or something, if not then it will need to be lower on the wider ones. Much of bowmaking is testing what works and what doesnt. Some of the learning can be accelerated by watching others, but most will be on your own.
