That's very nice. Even the serving on the string loops adds to the beauty and symmetry of the bow. I don't see a pin for indexing like is sometimes used on a 3-piece glass laminated bow. How do you keep the limb tips in alignment? Anyway, that really is a gorgeous bow. Thanks for posting it.

Jeff. The angle is shallow, maybe 15 degrees, but I couldn't tell you exactly what it is. The layout was a picture in my mind
George. If you look at the picture of the bow taken apart you will see the brass pin that keeps the limbs aligned

Silence is golden but duct tape is silver.

great as always! one thing i really want to ask about is your string. Could you post a bit about how you make your strings? it looks like an endless loop. All i have ever made are flemish twist strings, but really would like to try something with a little less creep.

I like this design Marc. Ill bet it is difficult to get the alignment perfect on the limbs.
