The 180# bow was bamboo backed osage with a 1/4" strip of purpleheart between the laminations. I'll see if I can get pics from my friend. He stand 7' 2" and is crazy strong. Needed him in the shop for a week for stringing and unstringing while checking the tillering. Now let get back to gluing up laminations shall we?

Didn't intend on hijacking this thread. Sorry there Zinger.
