And the back can take it? Is this the,"If it doesn't bend it won't break" thing?

Thanks Pat. I've often questioned that rule but the bow I'm working on now has a bamboo back so I should be able to go skinny.

A little off topic, but how do you string a bow like this? 
I haven't had anything to extreme at the recurves yet to worry about this with all wood bows.
My glass recurves I use a stringer mid limb, and long bows I bend and string by hand or sometimes make stringer.

sorry for the divergence.
