Nice work Ken75!! I've been pondering the idea of vertical lams myself. Looks like it works just fine. I just discovered my local menards now has hickory boards in stock, picked up two today. I think I'll try something with those. There's been a lot of those molle style bows on lately. Maybe I'll give one a try too. Thanks for the inspiration!

Nicely put together!  How wide is your ipe strip?  Great thinking Ken - the skins look great also.

Nice looking design ken. What glue did you use to glue up the lams?

Many discoveries have been made independently by many people and cultures. With so many forums now its hard to keep up with all the information brought forth. Lucky for us here we have people such as yourself and Rich who are willing to share yoour innovation with us all. Keep tinkering, always look forward to your post.

Vertical lams-there's something to ponder and frees up a lot of wood. Let's see how it shoots please!
