Something interesting about this bow and a happy new year everybody!
I left this bow in the cool barn than where - due to rainy weather- also moisture must have been quite high. When looking at it yesterday I realized it was reflexed about 2" - this was in fact more reflex than I originally glued in to start with. After some tillering and shooting the reflex was maybe 1/2" to 1". After I took it in the warm and dry house some of the reflex dissappeared again over night but it still is about as much as I glued in originally (pic). To me it looks like the legend of compression wood seems to prove. Very intersting!
Side remark: I also stated that many of my heat treated bows gained a lot of reflex since I shot them in an put them in the corner for a while. They - over time - really spring back to almost max reflex they were originally induced right after heat treating!!! Another very interesting thing

To me it looks like the heat treating really prevents permanent compression damage almost to a 100%
