The problem with this tutorial is-your'e trying to make a wooden bow based on a fibreglass one. Regardless of the wood, it will take less strain and cannot bend so much in the handle, the main bend should be in the mid-limb. For the best info and i mean really essential get the Traditional Bowyer's Bible-has everything you need to make a bow out of any wood and pretty much any design.

would doing thinner wood laminations improve the strength?

i don't know the first thing about making a bow, but to me it just seems sensible to use your hands to sand/shape the wood. the initial shape is one thing, but trying to get a smooth consistent taper using a dremel would be near impossible. i think if you had started with a wood that was more suited to making a bow, and done the finishing work by hand, you would have had a better result on your first build.

@BOBAbladeMAR Take a look in the mirror.

We tend to learn more from our failures than from your successes.

Never a complete waste of time - not if you learned from it.
Consider cutting the limbs off at the break point (and corresponding off side) and rebuilding it as a takedown recurve using a larger riser.

@BOBAbladeMAR ..... and I'm sure you could have done a better job? Give the guy some credit why don't you? He tried, and it didn't work. If it weren't for all the failures of the inventors, we wouldn't have single product in this world worth anything at all. It takes a great many failures to get a fine end product.
