If it's a flaw in the wood that the bowyer can NOT see, then it's unlikely they'll be able to compensate for it. Wood is a natural material, with flaws.

I understand that... In that case as I have stated before then, the bowyer would be confident in their skills. Knowing that the wood broke for some unknown reason.  Then they would be happy to try another stave of same species.  Instead of blaming the entire species. Right?

Ok I'll chill,   for the sake of the forum.  :-X. I still disagree with much of what you have said, I feel like you could be ruining many potential bows with your statements.   I don't feel the need to back down. You called me out when you are the one not answering questions.  PM me if interested in caring on the conversation.   Other than that I'm done on this issue.

But this has been interesting,  Nathaniel Stockberger ( oh yah I'm German also)

Just a typical mid winter thread Bad Chris. It turns into way more than it is or ever was. It was about a crap piece of wood that couldn't do what a bent pine yard stick can. Then it manifested into me not knowing what Im doing.

I know I'm not much of a bowyer but I do know that not every piece of wood will make a bow. And I have seen Pearl Drums post a few bows on here and I have had the pleasure of him helping with advice so I'm go to have to go with the wood as the problem. But as with everyone else I did enjoy reading the thread.

Pardon if I missed it but.....Have we seen one pic of a ERC self bow? I sure would like someone to show their daily shooter. Even one that has 1000 shots to it's credit. This is so discouraging.

I posted a link previously to a 120# ERC self warbow.
