Yes, well as for your qeustions I will try to answer them the best I can. I am using an aluminum riser and putting solid wood limbs on it for a takedown bow. I was also concerned with the limb pocket angle but did a rough mock-up with cardboardto see what it what look like. the I bent the cardboard to the Recurve style I like and traced it onto paper. I am then going to make a jig at that curve and steam bend the wood. I did not know that ash wood is prone to break I'll have to watch out for that. Yes the wood will NOT be laminated it is a solid peice for each limb that is to be bolted on in the limb pockets. I have never built/made a bow before and it looks like I have bitten off more than I can chew here but I will give it a try. Thanks guys I'll try to keep you posted.
