Well - here's another one I missed when I back tracked after camping in early July. Just got back from another canoe/camping trip yesterday, too. This is a fine laminate and will show up for August Laminate BOM.

I've never tried it, and I had suitable maple backing material. I'm glad I did... I'm very pleased with the results.

Great looking bow.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

She's a beauty alright with a great tiller. But it looks like you cut into the back of the osage. I hate to see you loose it because of that. I have seen that happen. Jawge

Very nice bow and interesting wood combo. Gives it the yew longbow look.
