Looks good.
In my eyes midlimb could bend a bit more (both limbs), most of bending is concentrated at inner limbs. Just my 2cents.

Laburnum is great bowwood, I like it

Hi all,

thank you very much for your friendly comments.
I'm glad that you like this bow. it was not only a pleasure to build her, because of laburnum is
toxic wood and I always get sinusitis, when i work with it.
To Badger: It's not similar to the elm, which I got. It's more dense and heavier.
To Simson (my bowbuilding-god, since I saw your bows, staves, the results of your work in naturally):
when I see her on pictures i in doubt, but when I draw her the limbs open in their full length.

Thank you all and greetings from Bavaria

Peter

Very beautiful bow Sir!  Where is this wood native to?
Slowly, i stalked her. Watching her every move. Silently moving in for the kill, only to find she was so perfectly tuned to nature i couldn't take the shot. My stomach was growling, yet i couldn't take the shot. My desire to see beauty overpowered my desire to eat.

I only know that laburnum exists in Europe. In Germany you can find it most in gardens as an ornamental plant.
