Your force draw curve looks good up to about 28" and from 28" to 32" it looks too good to be true. I have never seen a fiberglass bow with much more radical profiles build at that rate especially on a 61" bow. Are you sure the wood is not collapsing internally at that point?

Steve,
until now the bow shows no sign of failure. the design is heavy deflexed with very sharp fades (bow begins to bend already near the grip).
But, I shot her only with a 29, or maybe in some cases a 30" draw - I simply can't manouver the technique (always wondered how Weylin does this drawing to the ear).
She was on the tiller tree for weighing measurements and was drawn to 32". String angle still under 90°, probably the reason for the draw curve.
Just wondered why you are not talking the mass, she a bit heavy for my taste.
Edit:
Forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure the long fuming did chance the structure of the wood. Can't say what that is, but it makes the wood more elastic. I noticed there are industrial wood bending companies using also fuming (and steam with pressure).
