So, You bent your static tips and the limbs cracked

Eric those look great. I have only built two like that . One craked on the belly as yours did but I put the overlays on the belly side.where you able to get all the crack sanded off the belly? And why did you pick the back to put the overlay? Looks?   Arvin

I got all the cracks sanded off. Like I said earlier this bow was planned to be a straight limb bow and the tips were already rounded and shaped when I decided to recurve them. If I had put an underlay on the belly I would have had to flatten the belly which would have left pretty thin tips much thinner. The back is already flat and I could make the overlay look more like it was part of the bow design plan.
