  Markus, very nice work! You will fit right in here. I was looking the the grain orientation on your syhas, that could be a problem as the rings are layered flat where they can most easily seperate under very low stress.

if you can make a 53"/135cm string length bow from compression softwood backed with sinew or cable that draws 33-34" relatively smooth you will be my hero  hopefully I can beat you to it...

Would steam bending kelo for having grain aligned siyahs work? But hey, if they don't break..

I took care of it with glue. It's pretty hard wood, even the string won't make any pits to them. Almost 300 hundred shots fired now and still okay.

I'm not sure what you mean but I did cut the tips with jigsaw from kelo board, didn't bent anything.
