Hey i have a very noob question i didnt want to open up another thread to ask.   Im about to do another bow same style as this one but 57" long... ok question...  If im backing a decrowned piece of wood with bamboo does it matter if the belly grain runs off the bow??  Reason being i have sweet dark piece of osage that would take a lot of heating to straighten up worthy enough to be a self bow, but i could decrown it and do a best fit, bamboo thing on it pretty easy.

Aries, love them osage and boo bows! You did a fine job! She should be happy!

I think that string needs a haircut, though! She might preform a whole lot better.

I like the bow and I have to say I believe its the first laminate Molle I've seen :) And a nice gesture also.

Now for some criticism looking at the full draw it appears to do all its bending in one spot half way between the lever and the fades.
And if thats a 32" arrow in the full draw then I would say your pulling it no more than 25"

Dana i think you got me on the 25" draw thing :-\. i usually just say my draw length is 28" in general for my longer bows cause i think that is average and i have relatively long arms. and i really didnt have it cranked back all the way cause i was worried bout camera, drawing, and the dog running in front of me lol.      Im not sure what the most accurate way to measure my draw length is. which is kinda pitiful for how long I've been making bows lol :P.
