Nice bow! 
 I've always heard that lemonwood was susceptible to fretting. I've only made one bow with lemonwood, a hickory backed lemonwood ALB and had no trouble with it. I actually like the way it works.
 If I were laying up a tri-lam with this wood combo I'd use the compression strong ipe for the belly, hickory backing and lemonwood core but aesthetically the way you laid it up is more pleasing.

That beast'll certainly see off a few pillaging Norsemen! (and some simpering Christian priests!)  :)

Nice bow, fd looks really good. i bet it shoots heavy arrows with authority.
What's the rationale of placing the heaviest wood where it's least needed, in the middle? I would fear this creates an unnecessary hand shock.

Nice one - what sort of width/thickness have you got in the handle area?
