That's why I've been putting off a meare heath bow with actual dimensions.  It just shouldn't work, and I can't justify wasting a piece of yew for a genuine replica.

   I have always felt that gently rounding th eback of the bow had a similar affect to trappng the back. About the same as if working with a 6' stave.

   I've made dozzens of HICKORY bows (my favor white wood) and if your bow picked up that much string follow only one thing can cause that.
   ( I've let HICKORY bows strung up all day to many times to count. It won't efect it like that.)
  Your woods not seasoned enough.
  BEING A BOARD DOS'NT HELP EITHER.
