Osage will take it I use FF plus with no overlay on that bow 2k plus arrows I thought the same as you but a guy that's made more bows then I ever will told me it is no problem he was right ! I made a couple hickory ones at 1/8 also they look scary but no issues !
If you fear failure, you will never try ! But never except it!!

Hey Max...  Been a while...  How did that truck turn out??   What is the tightest radius do you use with .030" glass near your tips??  And what about .040" glass also??  I have been thinking about designing a new bow with a tight radius near the tips...

Mad Max

(.030 )2" radius on the back, but my stack was always around .250.
hard to get the gaps closed. At first my hook was coming around 70/80 degrees. I would go with 3" or more
The truck is a long project, maybe next spring.
