Never made a backed bow before. I usually go small to see how things turn out. Used 1/4 red oak and thin red oak backing to get reflex/deflex glued in. Lost some due to backing being too thin but still maintained some. Burlapped the back. Antler knocks, flemish string 48" TTP 20#@16". Will send to a buddy of mine for his grandson. In exchange he is sending me some prime hickory. Love to barter.
