Druid,
I am constantly amazed at all the variety in the group conversing on this site.  Your skill interests are different than mine but I sure enjoy seeing your work and learning from you critique of the bow.  Keep sharing with us.

Thank you friends very much... I ilke to tests wood and bows on different ways, it is also good way for learning. Keenan- no it was not heat treated. Its crown was too high and I didnt think it is good idea.
Shaun, yes, it broke near midlimb. I think that with this cross section (it is better for sure to be little wider and with smaller crown) pritty good matched compresion and tension abilities (correct me if I am wrong). It booomed in my hands. Just exploded!  :)

I wonder if dogwood is one of those good but sensetive bow woods. Maybe it would benefit for a little sinew or similar backing just to relieve the strain a little. Not sure if this would help stop the belly chrysalling but it might.
