Very nicely done "first" bow sir. It appears that it is a smooth shooter as well. From the photographs it looks like the upper limb is shorter and slightly more reflexed than the bottom limb. Is there a reason that you did it that way? I am curious is all because the unbraced and braced pics make the 2 limbs look asymmetrical but not so much at full draw.
    Anyway well done for a first.

That is a nice looking bow indeed!
I love laminated flatbows.

I'm just wondering what is cosip? I've never heard of that wood.

What is cosip? It's a specie of wood? if so, can you put its scientific name? I've been searching through the web and found nothing about it. Thanks in advance.
