I like it, looks promising. Should look even, the more experienced guys will have to chime in, but nice glue up

in pic 2, there looks to be maybe a bit of a thick glue line between the bottom 2 lams just wher the riser section starts on the right?
Hopefully it will dissapear as the wood is worked back, but it might be worth keeping a wathc on it.
Very pretty shape.
Hope you don't mind the comment.

Pyramid front profile Ken? No experience with that design but I believe this is a good case for letting your taper produce your tiller. I do every bow like that anyways. I would use a 1/16" belly taper to mid-limb and then carry that same measurement/thickness to tips. Adjust taper as needed. Hope that helps........Art

Hey Ken,
I really like the look of them working recurved limbs. If them get straight in a hurry (looks likes it's going to) that bow ought to have serious speed.....I like it !!!!
