Excellent looking bow. I really like the wood choices. Good job.

You need to put down the self bows and make a glass lam. There is almost no tillering at all.All the tillering is already done in the laminations. I think the success would do you good.

Wow guys, it looks so easy. Must not take any skill to build those laminated bows.
I messed a nice yew stave this weekend. I can't get anything right.[

Then I would have to build a heat box and reflex forms.
The heat box and forms are no big deal to make, the box can be a pain if you dont have help cutting the top off.
With the form just make sure the bottom section is square before you put the pressure strip on.
