This is a fine bow. I love the R/D style and wood comination. An excellent contribution to Sept Laminate BOM. Thanks!, akila.

Great  looking  bow, 200  yds  from  a  45#  bow,  that seems  quite  remarkable

Your bow has got great lines. I can feel the stored energy just looking at it. Seeing your bow taught me something, I have to narrow my tips!
Thanks

Beautiful bow Akila. Nice work. I imagine you planned it with the belly laminations like that right? I have one similar, but mine was accidental. I was trying to make a  multi lam but by the time I got down to the weight I was after I had gone through one of the laminations.  ::)

Justyn....mine wass accidental also....i did not plan to make it like this...but i did something wrong....i wass trying to get the tips as light as posibile, and i  sanded the tips to much, and they loose all the reflex becose of that.... so i had to do something to put the reflex back on those tips, so  i sad to my self to make 2 strips for each arm, and  put the reflex back ,,,and this is why  it looks like this right now....it wass an accident.....but it turned out ok in the end... ;D
