While this is a primitive forum I like hearing observations on modern materials. We were always told that a glass back and a wood belly would result in a crushed belly since glass doesn't have much stretch and yet you are successfully using carbon on wood.
 Carbon REALLLY doesn't stretch.

   Pat, before I found out about primitive bowyery I had glass backed several bows with no issue. I think what happens is the neutral plane just moves closer to the back of the bow.

I am one of the lucky owner of 2 Nawalny bows, he actually made one of these in self bow, sinew backed. Super smooth and a joy to shoot. Very egyptian looking.

Very nice.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Funny but for this time I have better results on all wood bows. Maybe  I am  poor in synthetic materials :) Now I made few changes in angular form. Bows are a little more agressive and with small static recurve like classic egyptian bows. I have stronger bows with theseme mass and better energy storage. I dont have yet results but I think it will be interesting, I must make FD curve and good chrono test. Updates in next week
