Beautiful bow, love the hemp wrap grip, that is how I do most of mine, very tough and feels good to the hand. :)

Very nice tri-lam, Tuomo. That's the way I think a full draw R/D should look.  :OK

Very elegant and beautifully crafted. Seems a bow you could carry for an all day rove with ease. Very sleek in style.

Thank you for your kind words! I think I can make bows (with almost 20 years of experience), but I still have a lot to learn. There are many skillful bowyers here whose work I admire. Also, many of you are posting beautiful selfbows—hopefully my laminated bows are not too modern here. I should make some selfbows too (when I have the time…).
