Spiffy looking weapon!
Am so jealous of you fellows that are successful makin' laminated bows.

Regarding the fact that this is your first try making a laminate bow, the result is amazing! Taking this fact aside...it still is!
I m also going to build my first laminate bow soon, I m happy if the result is half as good as yours!  :)

Beautifully done!  Funny how it seems these bows aren't as commonly built as they were years back.  My allergies aren't much for Ipe dust anymore.  Bet that shoots great.

It's a lovely bow. 

The background is a distraction in the full draw but from what I can see comparing the braced profile to the full draw is that your upper limb bends just a hair too much mid limb and the lower limb is a bit too stiff overall.  The lower limb does have a nice smooth bend to it though

Thank you all.  I agree Marc, the lower limb does look much better than the upper.

She's a beauty!  The wood contrast is quite appealing to the eye.  Josh
