Outstanding! Unbraced profile is awesome and that bow looks fast standing still. I gotta start planning with some lams. Great bend in that one sir.

Beautiful bow Mick.  I bet it is a zinger! Those tips look like they might be narrow.  Any pics?

Very nice! My last attempt fell well short of your mark, but hopefully in the future I will try it again. What glue did you use?

That's a heck of a good looking bow! I might have to borrow your idea of the antler shelf, it looks cool.

Hi Stringman,
The glue I use is called Techniglue CA here in Australia, 2 to 1 mix epoxy and cured at room temp. Some guys here use smooth on with a hot box, but I have never been able to get it.
 The Techniglue works fine, never had a bow delaminate on me yet!!!!!!
