What's good dimensions for a 54" bendy handle bow? 26" draw? Maybe 50-55 lbs
Nothing ventured nothing gained

1.25" wide for almost any osage bows will work.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Simple D bows at this length are usually around 1" to 1 1/4" wide at the grip and taper down to 1/2" nocks.  Recurve the tips to help with string angle

I just cut a mulberry stave the exact length.
Will these dimentions work for a 40-45lb bendy hanble?

mulberry or any white wood can still make a bow this length, go wider though
I'd maybe go 1 1/2" at the grip
