Yes Sir Mr. Smith it does draw smooth. As long as it is, stack is not even a consideration.
Joaquim- I consult the wood database from time to time when I encounter a new wood, but one should always keep in mind that the information gleaned there is not intended for bowyers. You can get a general idea as to the properties of a wood species, but nothing specific. Also, even within a set species of wood there are huge variables that come into play as far as bending properties go. These could be due to amount of sunlight/shade, water, soil, location, so on and so forth. You can cut two trees growing within a few yards of each other and have huge variance between the two. Reading raw data is a fine starting point, but like all reading of others work it's no replacement for your own hands on experience. I'm not saying that the volumes of info written on our beloved past time are incorrect and should be ignored. Far from it. What I am saying is that all that data should be used as a reference and built upon by making our own shavings. I'm not sure how I got off on the tangent, but thank you for the compliment and I hope this thing holds up to. The low mass is definitely beneficial to the performance. I just hope it's not detrimental to the longevity. Although past experience tells me that is an unavoidable trade off. Time will tell I guess. Thanks again! Josh
