Oh yea. Bigcountry, The top bow has a glass backing. The hickory backing lamhad two run offs, so i thought Id glass it just for safe measures. Im going to build me some new forms, some time soon, and start doing some lam bows under glass. These board bows got a new design stuck in my head, I want to play with. Well, I got an Ipe bamboo bow I want to build for next hunting season first. Man, I need more time in the day.
