That's a super interesting bow, Rich!  I bet it shoots beautifully.  Took me awhile to figure out what was going on, but I got it.  A very interesting design.  How thick was your core, .5"?  How wide was your diamond?  Thanks for posting this one, it's different and looks VERY functional.

Thanks Parnell The core is 3/8" , and all the other lam's are 1/8" (thats the dimensions after some light sanding). Have only built the one but I believe that by using 1/8" you can place as many as ya want to tweek the bend profile however ya might want it. Like maybe a 48" followed by a 24" will bend different than a 36" followed by a 24".....anyway that's my take on it after only one.

the fat part of the diamonds are 1-3/4 wide and taper to 1-1/8" wide at the center of the bow (no grip area per-sey) the diamonds taper to 1/2" tips both tapers are in a straight line. The bends in the limbs (recurve) is 15" from @ tip. The first belly lam occures at 17 inches from the tip. Hope that helps some.
