Anybody had success with Mahogany for a backed (with paper I am thinking) bending handle bow?

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

i tryed some south american mahogony and it was brittle as all get out tryed it backed and in a tri-lam as center core and both exploded early on, mountain mahogony is a doable bow wood from what i've heard, Bub

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
