this statement is not only ambigous, it is technically false.

any length specified will be changing the intent if it can bend

if the rule gets put on the table for amending, should the intent be clarified first?

And everything bends :D

PatM:
It does seem like people could be reasonable about judging whether the added on bits are purely to build the thickness back up versus trying to cheat a lam into the harder working portions of the limb.

The problem with that is that people aren't reasonable :D especially if you put them in a position of authority ::). If you leave it up to judging you will have different rulings fron one meet to the next.

willie:
and if the bow in question were a bendy handle design, would it be a working trilam?
