hey thanks everyone!!!
i got the tapered bamboo from echo archery and thinned it down a bit on the belt sander.
then ripped a thickness taper 1/2" at the fades and 1/4" at the tips then it was bending enough to strap to my make shift reflex form.

Seems like you've kicked your bow making to a whole nother level... This is a real beauty.
Got me worried about holding down my end of our swap

I'm dealing with some checking the handle of yours, playing with an inlay idea to remove the checked area... hope it turns out.
