yepper...that is absolutely one of my favorite profiles for an everyday shooter and hunting bow as well!  BJ~ it sure would be nice to see you at MoJam...we could all have us  some serious discussions on bow making.  :)   :OK
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

Working on it Will with my definition of D/R without Deans form with deflex just in the handle and fades and the rest reflex on my own form.It gives a more rounded type full draw profile.Maybe it's not considered a D/R bow then I'm not sure but it works for me.I just call them a bow....ha ha.I'm a lot more used to tillering straight or reflexed bows than a bow with reflex abruptly put in the working limb.Those bows get tillered different as far as wood removal goes.
PS....A thing about this red mulberry....Drying as a prepared shellacked back and ends stave it can get wonky drying on a few staves on a person.It likes to misbehave with some staves.To dry the wood it might be best to either rough out stave immediately to bow profile or leave it wide and long as a split stave to deter warping sideways after removal of bark and sapwood.Possibly clamping it down while drying as a roughed out bow would be an option too.

BJ....The club that puts on Mo Jam deserves all the acknowledgement it can get.It's just my 2 cents worth.
