Cool looking bow!  I really like seeing your work, you are one of those who isn't afraid to try a different design every once in awhile.   :) :)  Bookmarked for February Backed BOM contest too.   :)

ken,
That's a nice one, for sure!  If I may ask, what were the lamination thicknesses?

If it doesn't rap the lintel, it might not be a longbow.
