For all those wondering, Jesse's bow which just won December backed BOM, is what a properly made and tillered R/D bow looks like. Please take note: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,50052.0.html

Yep. I've done em. Bamboo backed osage and boo backed yew tri-lams mostly. My last one was bamboo backed, yew core, osage belly... a hybrid more toward a deflex/reflex longbow with plenty of deflex and the reflex pushed far enough out the limb that it looks almost like a semi-recurve. Smoothest, sweetest bow I ever shot.

Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer
