I'm thinking 3 layers at the most and 2 at the least. I wanna keep it light in weight. I'm gonna use Knox like I did before.

Sinew can add benefit to nearly any wood if designed accordingly.

Hey Jordan, I may have the twin to that stave. Just finished shooting in an osage bendy I finished and I'm sitting on my porch looking at it unstrung and the back profile has all the same bends as yours, looks the same just orange.
That stick ought to make ya a nice bow-man. :)
