Oh there's definitely more bend there than any of the rest of the limb. Try the circle trick. If its tiller were a little more even it'd help with string angle and set would be more evenly distributed.

Some people here have made all bamboo bows, all of them beautiful, and everyone's made a hinged bow at least once. Heck, I just corrected a hinge I was missing because of r/d.

I'm not trying to make a problem, I just hope we can all improve from wherever we all are.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

not my bow but all boo but the riser nodes are making little effect on tiller
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
