Wow, looks great!  I've always wanted to make a composite.  I'd love to see a build-a-long too.

      First time I have ever seen such a diverse collection in construction at the same time. I can't wait to see them finished. I am really interested in how well you estimated the draw weight. That initself seems like a major task. Great work, keep us posted as you go. Steve

Wow, looks fantastic.
The one in the middle seems to be my favorate design, an angular bow, like the Egyptian, right?
Do you have more details, that would be great  :)

James, I guess from all the reactions here one can say that we all wouldn't be too bored if you posted more (MORE...!) detailed photos of these cores!!!
