WOW!!!!  Amazing little pocket rocket.  Talk about parallel limbs.  The Korean bow is such an engineering miracle and you captured it's beauty as well.  BRAVO!!!!

Very nice bow, James. They are getting better as you go. The full draw pic is awsome for sure. I bet it really spits an arrow.

Excellent...but you don't need me to tell you that ;)
I've got a few questions....
What width are the limbs? Also what are the core and horn thicknesses? How did you prepare the bamboo? Heat and flatten? What method did you use to clamp the horn to the core and how long are the horn strips? What angle of reflex did you use for the limbs out of the handle?
Thanks for posting this one because i'm in the planning stage for one of these.

Good to see you back working on bows James.  Great looking bow.  I didn't think anything could eat that horn.  Never seen any eat them here in Thailand.  Just clean up the fat and what not off of them.

Incredible bow!!  It's unbelievable how you get so much from such a small area of the limbs. God Bless
