What a sharp looking bow.  I'm not big on painted backs but I really like what you did with that one.  Very nice!

That's very cool Ken.  Have you made many bows with the verticle lams like that?  I wonder how they would stand up in the long run...  gonna have to try one in the future!

Nice work, as usual!

    REAL  NICE!!!!   now  I  have  a  question,, for  you  and  half  eye.   this  way  of  lam'ing  bows  is  different  from  what  we  read!  but  couldn't  you  take  a  board  that  is  not  a  good  choice  and  rip it  and  glue it  in  a  1\4  sawn  lam  board???  and  if  that  is  so,,,,,  just  about  any  board  is  a  good  board ,,?   you  got  me  thinking  JEFFW
