They dont go all the way to where your splice is, but, they can be made to.

DC,, I have had the bottom limb shift a bit ,, even when same length,,I think shooting in while you tiller will help,, maybe leave a few pounds till you shoot it a bunch,, so you can adjust,, adding sinew is an option as stated,, I think it just takes sinew longer to settle in , than all wood bow,,

Thanks Pat! Boy, i need to talk less and build more. Yeesh. How long did it take you to find that?
DC, the way i did the handle splice with horn side plates is how id reccomend you do your tip side lams. Id even use horn. Wouldnt need much thickness.
DC:
I've already done it. Not as nice as yours but it will stiffen it where I wanted. I don't like trying to blend the two where the dark wood tapers into nothing. Never looks good. I'll call this one a prototype :D I'll take a closer look at yours now that Pat found it
